Hugues Simon is a French artist - working and living in Switzerland.

A self-taught visual artist, his work stands out for its intense visual and emotional impact. After an initial career in the film industry in Paris, he moved to Switzerland, where he devoted himself to the production of audiovisual content and brand communication. This trajectory profoundly influences the creative themes he explores in his art.

His vibrant, saturated works evoke an “emotional big bang,” blending figures and cultural objects into a chaotic iconography. He addresses subjects such as information overload and the oppression of content, reflecting the harshness of an urban civilization in which primal instincts remain untamed. He enjoys navigating between the chaos of the city environment and the resilience of organic life.

Each creation becomes a kind of inner cartography, where nature serves as a guide in the search for meaning and rootedness. The artist practices an archaeology of the present—not by digging into the earth, but by unearthing memory, gesture, and dream. Hugues Simon builds his compositions in layers of stories, forming a visual palimpsest that suggests a shared inner landscape, waiting to be revealed.
