About this artwork
Originally titled ‘The Dragon and the Butterfly,’ this painting gradually shifted its focus from form to the essence of light, making the title ‘Ultraviolet’ feel more fitting—suggesting something beyond the visible spectrum. The work becomes an alchemical interplay of elements, where paint dissolves, melts, and is reborn. Fire manifests as a dragon, water cascades as a luminous waterfall, and together they converge not in conflict, but in a moment… of transformation. Here, destruction gives way to renewal, and purity emerges from the crucible of change. The canvas flickers like a reel of film, casting light across a world both strange and vivid—an illuminated dream, forever shifting between what was and what could be.
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.
