Francis Simon's Roboticart Art

Artist’s Biography:

Born in Brussels, Francis Simon arrived in the Algarve in 1993 where his artistic training as a translator helped him survive. He settled in his studio Casa Branca, near other painters and Portuguese ceramists. His early works were gouache art deco and more naturalistic paintings. It was only in 2005 that the artist adopted the Cubist style. He studied Picasso, Kandinsky, and Jackson Pollock. The artist has polyarthritis which has forced him to abandon his brushes and he created the idea to paint with robots. The art robotics or roboticart was born.

The artists career as a translator, was inspiration for the simplification of forms and layouts needing to be clearly legible. Under the influence of Portuguese potters, the artist returned to painting as a sensual dimension. Thus, this journey brings to the roboticart a clarity and serenity that allows the public to better understand it.

Francis Smon remains faithful to the problem of the object in space.
