Simon Berger (artist)

Simon Berger was born on April 9, 1976. He grew up in Herzogenbuchsee, a municipality in the Oberaargau administrative district in the canton of Bern in Switzerland. Berger got professional education as a carpenter. He currently resides and works in his own studio in Niederönz.[6]

According to the magazine French magazine RTS, Berger's work was influenced by the pop art movement and Neorealism.[4]

Simon Berger made his first works on glass in 2017, in his studio in Niederönz, Switzerland.[6] Soon, the originality of his technique put him in the media spotlight, and he was invited by many institutions or events such as the largest street art festival in Europe, the Street Art Fest Grenoble-Alpes, where he created a live diptych. The work can be seen in Grenoble at 113 cours Berriat in a window provided by the ARaymond company. In March 2021, Simon Berger created a portrait of Kamala Haris, the Vice President of the United States, in partnership with the American National Museum of Women's History.[1] In August 2021, he was associated with the "We are Unbreakable" project,[7] sponsored by MTV Lebanon in tribute to the victims of the Beirut harbour explosion in 2020.
