ABOUT ME.

About who I am and what I love.

Simon Vovk

Designer & Artist

I have graduated in interior design from the Faculty of Design in Ljubljana. I am interested in the latter, as well as painting and photography. My work was first presented at a solo exhibition in my hometown Goče in 2003. I have also been taking part in the Extempore Piran art event for over a decade. I am constantly improving my knowledge in the field of painting techniques and computer tools, which I need for my work together with my art. Not only that, but I regularly participate in various creative projects. My work as a lightning designer is done in Ljubljana, but I create in my art studio in Goče.

About The Work

“In these works, Simon focuses on landscape scenes from a variety of places that depict natural beauty and wonder in a multitude of guises. Not limiting himself to a specific location or clear narrative. Often using the traditional domestic crafting skills and paint depicts abstract landscapes. Sometimes painted over other hues to create glowing diaphanous and translucent layers. Other times he uses his knowledge and understanding of graphic design to create or paint  the digital art pieces that would gain him worldwide recognition. He is posing questions about the nature of beauty, global inequality, formal questions of subject and composition, and the changing role of image in the digital age. His multimedia body of work includes paintings, extensive drawing series, large-scale environments and technical media such as screenshots. Simon’s work is represented in a huge number of important public and private collections.” (M.A.Š, 2020)
