Oil on canvas, 194,5 x 298 cm. LaM, Villeneuve d'Ascq. Exhibition "Esprit es-tu là? Painters and the voices of the beyond" 10 June - 1 November 2020 at the Musée Maillol (Paris) The artist started working in the mine as a saloon car greaser before getting an office job. He became interested in philosophy on his own at the age of 16 and became involved in spiritualist circles. Simon worked as a healer, and his talents were recognized as far away as North Africa. At the same time, he founded the journal Forces Spirituelles in 1947, which he kept up until his death. This publication allowed him to write comments on his pictorial works. Victor Simon produced hundreds of small canvases and a dozen large formats that he counted in square meters, since he conceived his universal temple: "more than 70m² of teaching".
