Simon Boyd (1978) studied fine art at Middlesex university, London (1997-2001). He has lived in Argentina since 2007, working as a full-time painter and musician.

In 2009, he had a major solo exhibition at the British Arts Centre (Buenos Aires) and in 2016 participated in the International Biennial of Contemporary Art (Buenos Aires). He has since had several solo exhibitions both in Argentina and the UK.

He is inspired by his natural surroundings of La Pampa; particularly the wide open skies and vibrant quality of light. His work is autobiographical in the sense that it is the convergence of two worlds; his English culture and background, contrasted with life in South America.
