Joan Jiménez, “Entes”

Graphic artist and graffiti artist, born 1982 in Lima, Peru. Because of his Afro-Peruvian origins, he experienced since early childhood a feeling of uprootedness. After abandoning a career in architecture, he began painting and slowly but steadily obtained recognition inside the community.

In Chile in 2002, he started calling himself “Entes” in reference to his role as an artist in the Latin American graffiti movement. Together with the graffiti artist “Pésimo” he forms the duo “Entes & Pésimo”. His work appears in the video clip of the song Latinoamérica, from the band Calle 13.
