We’re excited to share fresh works from Mexican contemporary artist Beatriz Simón—a captivating new collection that explores themes of home, memory, and the emotional landscapes we inhabit.
These latest pieces reveal Simón’s continued evolution as she translates the familiar—family rooms, sunsets, the warmth of home—into lyrical abstractions that feel both intimate and expansive. Through her signature approach of layered color, spontaneous gesture, and symbolic circles, she captures not what these spaces look like, but what they feel like. Each work invites you to bring your own memories and experiences to the surface, creating a deeply personal connection between artwork and viewer.
Red Sun
Red Sun captures that liminal moment when day gives way to evening—when warm light transforms everything it touches. Simón’s bold cobalt blue provides a cool counterpoint to the golden and orange accents that dance across the canvas. Her signature circles appear like celestial bodies or perhaps memories floating through consciousness, while spontaneous marks and drips bring an immediacy that keeps the work grounded in the present moment. This is a piece that would bring both energy and tranquility to any space, perfect for collectors drawn to work that balances contemplation with vitality.
Sunset
There’s something magical about the way Simón distills the essence of a sunset without resorting to literal representation. The sweeping band of warm orange captures that glowing moment when the world is bathed in golden light, while cooler tones below suggest the approaching evening. Her gestural marks and organic shapes feel like fleeting impressions—the kind of sensory memories we carry from perfect evenings spent watching the sky change color. It’s a work that brings warmth and optimism to any room while maintaining the sophisticated subtlety our collectors appreciate.
Family Room III
In Family Room III, Simón captures the feeling of a room filled with life and connection. The luminous golden yellows suggest warmth and welcome, while soft blues and grays add depth and quiet contemplation. Those simplified forms that drift through the composition—are they figures, furniture, or simply the ghosts of gatherings past? That ambiguity is precisely what makes the work so compelling. Each viewer brings their own experiences of family rooms and shared spaces, making this a deeply personal piece despite its abstract language. It’s ideal for collectors looking for work that combines visual sophistication with emotional resonance.
Home
Home is perhaps the most emotionally layered piece in this collection. Simón builds a complex visual environment where mint greens, vibrant pinks, and sunny yellows overlap and converse—much like the layered memories and experiences that make a house a home. Her characteristic circles and loops suggest the cyclical nature of domestic life, the rituals and routines that ground us. The spontaneous marks and playful scribbles bring an element of joy and spontaneity, reminding us that home is where we can be most ourselves. This piece would be stunning in a contemporary living space or private study, offering something new to discover with each viewing.
A Practice Rooted in Authenticity
Living and working in Mexico City, Simón has exhibited internationally across the United States, Spain, Hong Kong, the United Arab Emirates, Colombia, and El Salvador, earning recognition through several national biennial awards. Her work continues to resonate with our collectors who appreciate abstraction that doesn’t simply decorate but communicates—pieces that carry an emotional charge and philosophical depth.
