Jaime Welsh

Jaime Welsh is a visual artist born in 1994 in Lisbon, Portugal, currently living and working in London.

His research focuses on the formal relationship between humans and architectural space, as well as the evocation of psychological interiority through photography. Welsh graduated from Goldsmiths in London in 2021, as a Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Fellow and Goldsmiths University Fellow.
