Inspired Painting

Simoni is a multi-disciplinary artist best known for her shadow sculptures. She was born in 1983 in Toronto, Canada and grew up in Nicosia, Cyprus. She lives and works in Nicosia where she keeps her studio. Her works exist in collections around the world. Simoni’s body of work consists of three-dimensional and two-dimensional works of various disciplines. However, her shadow sculptures are the ones that has defined her artistic identity. The forms of the sculptures, take seemingly random formations, but when illuminated, they cast shadows of figures on surfaces. These sculptures, are often shaped in the form of nature-inspired elements, such as flowers and trees, however remaining very different from the appearance of their shadow. But it doesn’t stop there. Additional elements such as colour, sound, movement and ready-made objects are added to the works, thus creating a more complete experience for the viewer.
