Simon Kurpios’s acrylic paintings explore the relationships between spirituality, the nature, the emotions, the meditations, and the divine. His work, which is informed by the New York Metropolis where he lives, features urban motion and the mix people emotions in strong blues, reds, and yellows. The paintings, which collectively make use of similar colors, shapes, and moods, are derived from Simon’s exploration of spirituality, religion, philosophy, psychology, and music.
