Simon Kenevan
Rosemary Beach
Arts & Culture
Born in London in 1963, Simon Kenevan moved with his family to the south coast of England during his childhood. He cherishes memories of those early days, describing himself as a free spirit who enjoyed running barefoot on the sand and climbing trees. After his parents separated, Kenevan developed a sense of independence that has influenced his passionate and reflective painting style. In 1982, after finishing school, Kenevan joined a fishing boat crew, strengthening his connection with the sea. He eventually saved enough money to purchase a 14-foot rowing boat, fulfilling his desire to work alone and connect with nature. This experience deepened his appreciation for the sea, sky, and wind, and although art was not initially a significant part of his life, the solitude of his work led to introspection and laid the groundwork for his future artistic career. Over time, Kenevan began to express his experiences through art, discovering a remarkable talent. In 2003, he moved to the USA, where he encountered the "Sublime movement," a group of 19th-century painters inspired by North America's diverse landscapes. This movement greatly influenced his artistic journey. Kenevan feels a spiritual connection to the landscape, similar to these artists, and strives to infuse that divine inspiration into his work.

Simon Kenevan
Rosemary Beach
Arts & Culture
Born in London in 1963, Simon Kenevan moved with his family to the south coast of England during his childhood. He cherishes memories of those early days, describing himself as a free spirit who enjoyed running barefoot on the sand and climbing trees. After his parents separated, Kenevan developed a sense of independence that has influenced his passionate and reflective painting style.
In 1982, after finishing school, Kenevan joined a fishing boat crew, strengthening his connection with the sea. He eventually saved enough money to purchase a 14-foot rowing boat, fulfilling his desire to work alone and connect with nature. This experience deepened his appreciation for the sea, sky, and wind, and although art was not initially a significant part of his life, the solitude of his work led to introspection and laid the groundwork for his future artistic career.
Over time, Kenevan began to express his experiences through art, discovering a remarkable talent. In 2003, he moved to the USA, where he encountered the “Sublime movement,” a group of 19th-century painters inspired by North America’s diverse landscapes. This movement greatly influenced his artistic journey. Kenevan feels a spiritual connection to the landscape, similar to these artists, and strives to infuse that divine inspiration into his work.

Simon Kenevan
Rosemary Beach
Arts & Culture
Born in London in 1963, Simon Kenevan moved with his family to the south coast of England during his childhood. He cherishes memories of those early days, describing himself as a free spirit who enjoyed running barefoot on the sand and climbing trees. After his parents separated, Kenevan developed a sense of independence that has influenced his passionate and reflective painting style.
In 1982, after finishing school, Kenevan joined a fishing boat crew, strengthening his connection with the sea. He eventually saved enough money to purchase a 14-foot rowing boat, fulfilling his desire to work alone and connect with nature. This experience deepened his appreciation for the sea, sky, and wind, and although art was not initially a significant part of his life, the solitude of his work led to introspection and laid the groundwork for his future artistic career.
Over time, Kenevan began to express his experiences through art, discovering a remarkable talent. In 2003, he moved to the USA, where he encountered the “Sublime movement,” a group of 19th-century painters inspired by North America’s diverse landscapes. This movement greatly influenced his artistic journey. Kenevan feels a spiritual connection to the landscape, similar to these artists, and strives to infuse that divine inspiration into his work.
