Martha Jiménez works as a painter, sculptor and ceramicist. Her work is very much appreciated by Camagüeyanos.

A prominent theme of her work could be seen as metaphorical dialogue about limitations on women. She has a variety of pieces in prominent positions in Camagüey.

The lively representations of people to be seen in La Plaza del Carmen are examples of her sculpture.
