About this artwork
Route 88 is inspired by the phrase “I gave my colours to the rainbow” from Elmer the Patchwork Elephant and reflects on transformation and impermanence. The number 88 alludes to infinity and the passage between material and ethereal states. Symbols such as the butterfly, sunflower, and rainbow suggest cycles of change, renewal, and continuity, while abstract forms create a space where memory and imagination converge.
The number eight—an ancient symbol… of infinity—has intrigued me for some time. There is also a butterfly native to northern Argentina, locally known as the Mariposa 88, named for the figure-eight marking on its wings. Route 88 alludes to the pursuit of something beyond the mundane and the visible; perhaps it serves as a metaphor for the act of painting itself.
The rainbow triangles are a recurring motif in my work and symbolize the Holy Trinity expressed through colour.

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.
