A look into the creative and whimsical worlds of Simon Vargas
Simon has been featured in many popular press outlets around the globe for various projects, commissions, exhibitions, and art fairs. Below is a sampling of some of the recent commentary regarding his work in notable international publications.
Simon Was featured in New York Magazine’s coverage of the Spring 2019 Affordable Art Fair in Chelsea, Manhattan
“Go for a seafood dinner by chef Ben Hammou, formerly of Le Bernardin, and stay for some post-meal tunes. Thursdays boast deep house, Fridays are for disco, and Saturday is Latin night. Oh, and don't forget to snap a pic with the house jaguar.”

“The stunning interiors reflect an elegant modern Latin sensibility. The blue walls and one of a kind yellow mural designed by Simon Vargas round out the visually enticing space.”
After dinner, a tropical, yellow mural designed by Simon Vargas lures you to the dance floor downstairs where Music Director, Nacho Isa ensures diversified programming (House Thursdays, Disco Fridays, and Latin Saturdays). Inclusivity is important for Diaz, who wants the space to feel like “a celebration of the never-ending party, vibrancy, and life that embodies New York.”
Local 10 ABC covered the VIP preview of Aqua Art Miami and featured Simon’s solo show of his “Mujeres de Providencia” as the highlight of the fair
