Simon Gerssen is a contemporary artist working in sculpture and painting.
His sculptures are created in wood, stone, metal, and ceramic.
His paintings are made with acrylic, graffiti, and mixed techniques on canvas or wood.

Creating art is not a choice but a calling.
The act of shaping ideas from his own mind is central to his life.
Inspiration is never the issue.
Time to execute ideas is.

Simon works primarily intuitively.
From this process, series often emerge naturally.
At the same time, he creates unique one-off works when the idea demands it.
A fast, direct approach allows ideas to flow without overthinking.

The work is intentionally open.
Viewers are invited to assign their own meaning.
There is no fixed narrative.
Pretension is avoided.

Timelessness defines his sculptural work.
In his paintings, there is often a strong connection to his hometown, Urk.
This place returns subtly through form, rhythm, and atmosphere.

His work is exhibited at Galerie Plein 1890 in Urk and held by private collectors.
Artworks are created for long-term presence, not trends.

Simon’s ambition is simple.
To keep creating.
And to let the work travel the world.

Above all, his work should never feel heavy.
Art does not need to take life too seriously.
It should connect.
Instantly and instinctively.
