Jimmy Groen (b. 1962) lives in Slenaken, Netherlands, where he works from his home studio.

Jimmy Groen creates versatile art in a mix of unique childhood experiences, contemporary stories, fantasy and unguided ideas. Much of his outsider art is made from the soul as storytelling around marginalized, invisible minorities, who do not receive official protection in society. He was a pioneer in portraying queer identity in youth through approximately forty portraits, some of which were successfully exhibited in 2022 and 2023. From 2025 onwards, his creative focus will be on making connections between dimensions and the scale of objects (micro- and macrocosm), integrating previous themes of landscape, portrait and nature in a more complex and indirect way.
