TESTIMONIALS
Simeon is an excellent artist with great talent which covers many different Artistic fields. He is an outstanding portrait painter as well as landscape artist and muralist. I highly recommend his work as well as his commitment to his art. I wish him very well.
[…] I am also acquainted with Mr. Gigow’s theater decorations which are illustrative of his experience and advanced mastery of the art of stage setting and theater decoration. He is a professional with a compelling artistic biography.
Simeon’s portraits are full of life, vitality and charm. The artist’s wealth of personal experiences and artistic maturity contribute to creating art works which touch the viewer’s deepest feelings. His paintings very often, not only show the beauty of the person, but also reveal unexpected aspects of the inner self.
…the artist Simeon gets the SOUL of the subject in the eyes.
In my art knowledge, only Rembrandt has done this to such an
extent (in the series of his self-portraits)…
