Francesco Pellizi wrote that Jiménez’ work, “interweaves the indigenous past with the global present....reading history from the view
of contemporary pop culture.” In the collage drawing "Mexico 70," a stereo boom box punctuated with pops of bright colors unfolds into a pyramidal structure with staircases of feathered serpents reaching out from the base.

We can really appreciate Jímenez's love for juxtaposing high and low culture in "Mexico 70" as he has added found labels from "Laposse" to a Hotel in Guadalajara celebrating the 1970 futbol World Cup. The amalgamation of imagery and text creates a chaotic relationship and devises a contemporary iconography for Mexico.
