Jimena Irupé Vivas
Art and Designer Consultant
I am an art and design consultant whose work begins with listening to the land, its people, and the histories and stories embedded within a space.
My journey has been shaped by the places I have been fortunate enough to feel at home in: the vineyards of Mendoza, the intellectual and cultural richness of Boston, the spiritual pulse of Bali, the bold innovation and state-of-the-art vision of Dubai, and the timeless craftsmanship of Southern Italy. Each place has taught me the same essential lesson: meaningful design is not about imposing a vision, but about revealing and elevating what is already there.
My education reflects my philosophy a convergence of disciplines rather than a hierarchy:
– Art & Design History | Università per Stranieri di Perugia, Italy (2026)
– MFA in Interior Design | Universidad Internacional de Valencia, Spain (2020)
– BA in Design | Universidad de Mendoza, Argentina (2011)
– IB Visual Arts & Socio-Cultural Anthropology | AHUWC, United States (2002)
I see this not simply as a résumé, but as the foundation of a practice shaped by curiosity, experience, and a deep appreciation for culture. Over time, these disciplines have converged into a singular approach, one that brings together contemporary functionality, conceptual clarity, and a worldly sensibility.
My role is to create spaces and experiences that feel considered rather than prescribed, where art, design, place, and personal narrative come together naturally, and where every element has a reason to be there.
Ultimately, I believe the most compelling work is not about following a style. It is about creating something that could exist nowhere else, something deeply rooted in its context, yet unmistakably yours.
