Nestor Alejandro Jimenez is a Colombian artist born and raised in Florida. He has
explored drawing, painting, and photography to increase his knowledge and gain skills.
Nestor paintings are created from his photographs of these places that hold symbolic meaning
and provide a mirror to his life. In 2016, at Royal Palm Beach high school, Jimenez was
recognized as one of four winners of the Dr. Robert Avossa's Superintendent Holiday
Card Competition. His design was distributed throughout the county. During his time at
