About this artwork
This painting was worked from photographs of local landscapes. The trees, for example, were an avenue of eucalyptus’s lining the road outside my house, subsequently cut down by the local council. On countless occasions I used to watch the moon rising up through the branches of the eucalyptus, reflecting the light of the setting sun, and thereby creating a sense of limbo between night and day.
To the left of the composition is a magpie locally… called an Urraca, photographed while visiting the Iguazú waterfalls in the northeast of Argentina. The bird looks out of the scene, seemingly questioning the viewer. To the centre of the painting, there is a couple facing one another, symbolising a harmonic relationship similar to the symbol of the yin and yang. In the foreground, a hummingbird momentarily hovers before darting away. I often include hummingbirds as metaphors of freedom and offer a feeling of enchantment.

- 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.
