Jimena Buena Vida is a Colombian-born artist whose work is rooted in computational aesthetics intersecting with modern art. Her digital art practice is informed by painting and animation, where creative coding as an art medium transforms JavaScript into vibrant abstraction.

Her pieces have been exhibited internationally in Paris, Colombia, Argentina, Spain, China, and Switzerland, while her digital works achieved commercial success in the NFT space on platforms like SuperRare, Foundation, and fx_hash. With a dedicated collector base and sold-out collections on Ethereum and Tezos, Jimena continues to redefine contemporary abstraction through a fusion of art and innovation.

Throughout the fall and spring semesters, the Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series welcomes a diverse group of nationally and internationally recognized artists working across traditional, hybrid and emergent disciplines. Join us to explore and expand boundaries of creative visual practices alongside others with an interest in contemporary visual art.

The Artists Now! Guest Lecture Series is supported in part by the UWM Black & Gold Committee and Differential Tuition funds, Frederick R. Layton Fund, the John Colt Memorial Art Fund, The Queer Curatorial Fund, Center for 21st Century Studies, Greater Milwaukee Foundation’s Mary L. Nohl Fund Fellowships for Individual Artists Program, Print Club, Focus, and OBJECT.
