Jenny Simon has developed her own unique painting technique. She uses palette knives and her hands to apply and form multiple layers of oil paint onto canvas that give these artworks a rich quality and texture.

"Jenny Simon's work exudes the passion she displays in her personal life and philanthropic ventures. Her rich, definitive palette and lines make a bold statement that expresses her spirit within. Thick, textured layers in powerful hues combine to emit a statement of beauty and organic simplicity."

"Creating intuitively, Jenny Simon's work is sensual letting the art take her where it will. Simon's affinity for richness and texture -there is something very organic about her art, a sense of having been created by some natural process rather than the will on part of her as an artist. As an artist, she often is surprised by the unexpected; the completed work affects her upon completion, almost like the art has a life of its own! Her quiet speaking yet emotionally challenging work has evolved. It is intended to slow one down, encouraging a sense of intimacy, instilling an impression of connection, persuading self-awareness and reflection."

"Jenny Simon is dedicated to a pure approach to abstract painting. Her works are radiant colorful compositions; collaborations of feelings and visual thoughts expressed with vibrant colors in a refreshing contemporary style. The viewer bathes in the deepness of warm colors and is surrounded by the dreams and emotions the artist created. Her confident strokes and abundant vivid colors provide the artworks with an energy that imbue her creations with movement. In a world of imaginations her paintings are silently speaking the language of spirituality and change."

Jenny Simon is a self-taught visual artist and former model and has lived and worked in Germany where she was born.
She was raised in a blue-collar family and spend her childhood in a public housing project. Despite her family's living standards Jenny Simon was provided with piano lessons at the age of six, and soon after was composing her own music.
The artist was drawn to the visual arts, theater and dance from an early age on. She traveled extensively with her family to Italy and Austria and later on throughout Europe on her own after leaving her abusive home at the age of 17.
As a child Jenny Simon came across post cards of famous German painters Karl Spitzweg and Albrecht Duerer. She was fascinated by their abilities to capture emotions and light in such a dramatic painting style. She began studying their work and expressing herself with charcoal and water colors.
Influenced by painters like Gerhard Richter and Jackson Pollock she started painting oils in abstraction in 1995 using primarily large canvases.
In 1999 she specialized in creating custom-designed oil paintings. In 2002 the artist established her new studio in Southern California where she currently resides. Her works are sought after worldwide by both galleries and collectors.
