Jimena Tercero (Madrid, 1998) is a multidisciplinary artist who explores the relationship between the boundaries of identity and the human body through video, performance, and painting. Her work addresses concepts such as memory, tangibility, and play.

Tercero has trained in various fields: painting with Lola Albín, analog photography in Cambridge (2014), and audiovisual arts, studying filmmaking (2018–2020) with mentors such as cinematographer Rafa Roche and director Víctor Erice.

She has directed several pieces, including Paranoid (2021) and Private (2016), exhibited at Aspa Contemporary Gallery part of the Video Art Festival- Proyector. These works delve into themes such as the subconscious pain embedded in the memory of the body. This theme is further explored in her piece Yo mi me conmigo (2023) at Teatros del Canal and Inside Voices (2021), filmed at Conde Duque with guidance from Itziar Okariz, as well as La última regla at Juan Gallery.

In PLACENTA (2023), exhibited at Art Deia Gallery, she reflects on water as an element of human gestation. She also directs documentaries, such as También estás aquí, for ArtforChange-La Caixa, addressing autism.

She presents Navel Bite at Sinespacio Gallery, where she questions the dialogue humans maintain today through the identities created via mobile phones, highlighting the individualization of the subject and its relationship with its image. In EDEN, exhibited at White Lab Gallery, she reinterprets the biblical myth of Adam and Eve, questioning gender roles.

Her latest performance, Out of View, at Nebula Gallery, reflects on the perception of the human body and space, raising questions about identity and self-image. In this work, the artist presents an installation of mirrors surrounding the naked body, transforming it into a medium to deconstruct, multiply, and reinterpret itself.

Tercero explores how perception is constructed and deconstructed both individually and collectively.

Additionally, Tercero has participated in artistic residencies such as Medialab with Niño de Elche and Miguel Álvarez Fernández, focusing on voice development (2021), and at Juan Gallery (2024). In 2025 she participates as a Special Jury in the Asían Film Fest in Barcelona and is selected for the International Cultural Mousseum of Assilah art residency in Morocco in April 2025.
