Identical twins and first generation Cuban-Americans, Elliot & Erick Jiménez, were born and raised in Miami by Cuban immigrants and now reside in New York. Their photographic practice stems from an early passion for art history and is influenced by their upbringing, which explored the mysticism of gods in mythology from Yoruba and Catholic syncretic elements integral to Cuban culture.
Inspired by paintings, their work portrays the ephemeral nature of light and color through experimental camera techniques and the composition of their subjects, often rendering them like paintings. Capturing enigmatic images at the intersection of contemporary art and fashion, Elliot & Erick have developed a personal approach to photography that is meticulously constructed by concept and chromatic arrangements.
Elliot & Erick’s work has been exhibited throughout the United States and Europe. Solo exhibitions of their work have been presented at Spinello Projects, Entre Dos Mundos/Between Two Worlds (2022), Paris Photo (2022), and PHOTOFAIRS New York (2023). Group museum exhibitions include Open Storage (2022) at the Bass Museum, Miami, The Florida Prize (2023) at the Orlando Museum of Art, and Surrealism & Us (2024) at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
Elliot & Erick’s editorial work has been featured in Vogue Italia, Vogue Latin America, and TIME, amongst others. They've also collaborated with brands like Gucci, Christopher John Rogers and Hermès. In 2023, Elliot & Erick photographed Bad Bunny for the first-ever all-Spanish cover of TIME magazine, in the publication’s hundred-year history.
