Elliot & Erick Jiménez - The Incredulity of the Ibeyí, 2025

Bring home a piece of contemporary Afro-Caribbean mythology with this exclusive postcard featuring The Incredulity of the Ibeyí, 2025 by twin artists Elliot & Erick Jiménez, created for their first solo museum exhibition, El Monte, at Pérez Art Museum Miami.

This evocative work reimagines the Ibeyí—divine twins in Yoruba and Lucumí tradition—figures of protection, duality, and balance. Known as mischievous yet powerful, the Ibeyí embody the tension between innocence and divine wisdom. In The Incredulity of the Ibeyí, the Jiménez brothers channel the spirit of the twins through their hauntingly beautiful photographic style, layering ritual, myth, and performance to explore themes of faith, doubt, and spiritual inheritance. The “incredulity” speaks to the space between belief and questioning, a moment that captures both the fragility and the resilience of ancestral memory.

Like the rest of the works in El Monte, this piece draws upon the brothers’ deep engagement with Afro-Cuban spirituality, ritual practices, and myth-making. The Ibeyí are not only symbols of divine energy but also reminders of the interwoven legacies of family, heritage, and survival across time. Through their bold imagery, the Jiménez twins turn these ancient symbols into contemporary guardians, protectors that live within both sacred tradition and modern struggle.

Printed on premium card stock, this postcard is a perfect keepsake from PAMM’s groundbreaking El Monte exhibition. Frame it, gift it, or collect it as part of the limited-edition postcard series, and let the power of the Ibeyí bring their dual forces of protection and transformation into your own space.

Carry the myth. Protect the memory.
