I wanted to create a pastoral scene reminiscent of the renaissance period with the sunset mountains in the background with two scene's from Caravaggio; the 'Ecstasy of Saint Francis' and 'Saint Francis in Meditation' in the foreground. I have used the symbolism of the flowers to represent the transience of life set in contrast with the skull. Similar to my paintings of knights, I have a protagonist, a hero, who in this case is Saint Francis. He is a saviour-like figure who offers a faint flicker of hope in a world of impending darkness.

Simon has held solo shows in both Argentina and the UK; ‘The Jousters Banquet’ at the British Arts Centre, Buenos Aires, in 2009 and ‘Also Light…’ at Anteros Arts Foundation, Norwich, 2023 to name a few. He has also participated in the International Contemporary Art Biennial, Buenos Aires, in 2016. A key inspiration for the colour and depth of his work is the South American landscape of La Pampa. Simon's use of palette echoes the sense of vitality and purity the landscape there evokes.
