About this artwork
This work is a sequel to Álamo I, reimagining the composition so that the poplar tree now recedes into the background, mirrored by a phone mast on the left. The juxtaposition subtly contrasts the organic and the manmade—two vertical forms rising in quiet dialogue against a luminous sky. The dried poplar, or álamo, stands in solitude, echoing the stark beauty of the Pampas landscape. I used to work on a large farm in the southern part of La Pampa,…
where these trees are often planted to shelter alfalfa and other crops from the fierce Pampero winds. To me, the álamo is more than just a tree; it’s a familiar landmark and a silent witness to the enduring rhythms of rural life.

- Works on commission
Simon Boyd is a British painter based in La Pampa, Argentina. His paintings explore landscape as a space of memory, transformation and imagination. Drawing on the vast horizons of the Pampas, the subtropical forests of Misiones and the waterfalls of Iguazú, Boyd creates works that move between representation and abstraction. Through vivid colour, recurring symbols and expressive brushwork, he transforms observed landscapes into personal and imaginative worlds that reflect experiences of travel, migration and life between two continents.
