Simone Boon is a Dutch visual artist whose work explores the fluid nature of identity, perception, and transformation. Having lived across continents—from Southeast Asia to South America and Europe—her encounters with cultural diversity, unfamiliar landscapes, and layered urban environments have become a lasting source of visual and emotional memory.
Her artistic development was profoundly shaped by her years in Malaysia and Hong Kong, where she completed a Master of Fine Art from RMIT University. The interplay of light and shadow, the sensory richness of everyday life, and the hidden, mystical layers of the street became central to her work. Her experimental photography often conveys a subtle sense of movement and temporality, reflecting an interest in ‘becoming’ rather than fixed ‘being’, and drawing philosophical inspiration from thinkers such as Henri Bergson and Søren Kierkegaard.
Trained also as a sculptor and ceramicist, she has focused primarily on photography since 2010, bringing a strong sense of materiality and spatial awareness to the medium.
Simone currently lives and works between Antwerp and Amsterdam. Her work is presented, collected and exhibited internationally.
