Cindy Kimberly – Art & Soul
Maxim|November - December 2021
How gorgeous model, photographer and artist Cindy Kimberly built her massive social media following
Cindy Kimberly – Art & Soul

At what point does modeling become art? For sultry Spanish beauty Cindy Kimberly, they’re one and the same. The 22-year old is art personified; a model, photographer, designer, artist, and painter, all in one stunning package of full lips, perfectly sculpted curves, and striking brown eyes that exude an irresistible self-assurance impossible to ignore.

Born in Amsterdam to a Spanish mother and Indonesian father, the brunette beauty is an international icon who was catapulted into stardom in 2015 when, in an unexpected turn of events, she caught the eye of Justin Bieber—who posted her picture on Instagram with the caption: “Omg who is this!!” Clearly, even the Biebs couldn’t resist her ethereal beauty. And who can blame him?

With that single photo and four-word caption, he unleashed an internet search party to unveil the identity of the mystery bombshell. And so, the internet did its thing, and a star was born. “When I was younger I had a Justin Bieber fan account for like five years,” she says, echoing the sentiments of countless teenage girls around the world. “The running joke between my friends was that one day he would post a photo of me.” Well, what can we say? Lifeworks in mysterious ways.
