Jim Amaral is an American-born Colombian artist known for his drawings and bronze sculptures. Over a career that spans more than half a century, Amaral has also worked on painting, etchings, collages, furniture design, assemblages/objects, and artist's books. He has been recognized for his draughtsmanship and refined technique. While his work does not necessarily belong to a style or movement, it has been linked to surrealism and ancient Greek sculpture. Amaral has stated of his work: "I am only trying to understand the world, to live through my painting. I am trying to understand certain mysteries, such as the energies of life and death, the loneliness of a man ... I paint what people can reflect upon, so that what stays with the spectator is not only the visual impact".
