Jimmy Groen (he/him, boy) is a visual artist and illustrator based in Slenaken, the Netherlands — a place where the hills are real, and so are the dreams. He focuses on symbolism, identity, and the softness of social imagination. He is the illustrator behind the poetry of Dutch poet Lennart Willems.

Until 2024, Jimmy worked with pastel, watercolor, digital art and even glass, blending his creative output with his own life story. He sees his art as part of his self-created Magic Paradise — a world inspired by the golden ages of being a boy, especially the ages 8 to 11, when curiosity, movement, and wonder are in full bloom.

Jimmy is known for a multidisciplinary approach and a love for unusual, sometimes avant-garde concepts — like queer youth identity and spatial storytelling. His artwork is exhibited and available through platforms like Kunstinzicht and SoHo Galleri in Sweden.
