JIMI HAWES
I'm a Los Angeles-based artist recognized for making realistic oil paintings of everyday settings. My paintings are built in multiple layers to describe the textures and play of light on recognizable items, buildings, and other man-made infrastructure.
​
​I am inspired by the serenity and beauty of commonplace objects and how focused observation can transform the ignored and unimportant into something meaningful. My work reflects the relationship between the present and the past. There is a story entrenched in the present. How things came to be the way they are now.
I aim to produce beautiful paintings that awaken feelings of tranquility and evoke the deeper feelings of life beneath the surface.
