Jesús Herrera Martinéz 

is a Spanish artist (Petrer, Alicante, 1976), trained at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Valencia and the Accademia di Venezia, Italy. He has been living in Copenhagen since 2016.
His work revolves around painting projects, reflecting on classical genres (portrait, landscape, still life,...), painters, and techniques while exploring painting's potential as a language to transcribe the world and reveal ways of seeing.

In this context, he is deeply interested in how painting can be integrated with new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, in the creative process. The evolving ways we communicate visually, perceive, and perceive ourselves open a new space for exploring the pictorial language.

In Skagen, Jesus was very engaged with the museum's collection and greatly valued visiting the museum and the artists' homes daily. Here he found his inspiration for his own works and portraits, which had clear references to Skagen and the Skagen painters.
