Elliot & Erick Jiménez - El Monte (Ibejí), 2024

Celebrate the sacred power of duality with this exclusive postcard featuring El Monte (Ibeyí), 2024 by twin artists Elliot & Erick Jiménez, created for their first solo museum exhibition, El Monte, at Pérez Art Museum Miami.

This evocative work draws upon the Yoruba and Afro-Cuban spiritual tradition of the Ibeyí—divine twins who symbolize protection, balance, and unity. For the Jiménez brothers, themselves twins, El Monte (Ibeyí) is both a personal and mythological exploration, weaving their own bond with that of the sacred siblings. Through their signature photographic approach—layered with symbolism, ritual, and spiritual energy—they elevate the twins to a cosmic presence, figures hovering between earth and sky, mortality and divinity.

In El Monte, the natural and the supernatural meet, and in this piece, the Ibeyí embody guardianship, playfulness, resilience, and transformation. El Monte (Ibeyí) reclaims and reimagines ancestral memory, affirming the living presence of African diasporic spirituality in contemporary art. The work becomes a reflection of heritage, kinship, and the eternal dualities that shape human existence.

Printed on premium card stock, this postcard captures the depth and luminous power of the original piece, making it a meaningful keepsake from PAMM’s groundbreaking El Monte exhibition. Whether framed, gifted, or collected as part of the limited-edition postcard series, it offers a way to carry the light and protection of the Ibeyí into your own space.

Twin guardians. Ancestral memory. Cosmic balance.
