"Painting abstractions gives me the freedom to express myself emotionally with no restrictions and paths waiting to be explored. It is my personal way of recreating my memories and making them last. I invite you to see, feel and create your own relationship with the works that truly speak to you." --Jenny Simon |
WHAT COLLECTORS SAY:
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. Jenny 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 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 imagination her paintings are silently speaking the language of spirituality and change."
