JIMMY

TIM(R) & ALEX (L)

 Jimmy Groen (Non- binary boy, b. 1962) is an outsider at all terrains of life. He lives in Slenaken, Netherlands, where he  works from his home studio. He grew up in particularly serious conditions in foster care which was published as a story under a pseudonym in 2020 and 2021. Jimmy is known for his unique and very personal works. He is largely autodidact and has made many hundreds of works in various media since 2019. From 2025 he changed his practice from traditional to a form of interdisciplinary mixed media art. He collaborated with poet Lennart Willems and exhibited his work in various exhibitions, including in a gallery in Belgium.

Tim (2016) and Alex (2017) are creative littles,  making art with Jimmy in a mix of ages and identity. They are equally creative and associated to Jimmy's identity.
