About this artwork
This painting depicts the control tower of the local airport in Santa Rosa, La Pampa. What first attracted me was its strangely archaic presence within the flat landscape. Rising above the horizon, the structure became more than a functional object and began to suggest a point of communication between earth and sky.
In many of my paintings, vertical forms interrupt the horizontal expanse of the landscape. Towers, masts, mountains and other elevated… structures act as contemporary totems, markers of orientation and transmission. Through colour, atmosphere and gesture, familiar structures acquire a symbolic charge, becoming vessels for ideas of connection, memory and the desire to reach beyond the visible world.

Credentials
- 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.
