Fleur Simon
Based London, UK
I am an abstract painter, working primarily in epoxy resin on plywood. I create abstract paintings that mix natural imagery with my emotional states, visualising these internal landscapes. I graduated from City & Guilds of London Art School with first class honours, after my foundation at Central Saint Martins and scholarship semester at Paris College of Art.
I was shortlisted for the Clyde & Co. Blank Canvas Award (2018), won the Wildcard Prize on SkyArts’s Landscape Art of the Year Award (2018), and am currently shortlisted for the BP Portrait Award 2019.
