Simler trained in her native South Africa and in the U.K. Although she left Africa in 1978 the impact of her South African roots stayed with her both consciously and unconsciously, and expressed itself through her art in terms of light, colour, and imagery. This African heritage provides the initial layer of her art. Through travel and study around the world, subsequent layers were added. These influences include the impact of Italian frescoes, Byzantine mosaics, emblems and symbols of cultures as far apart as the Aztecs and India, all of which have been absorbed into her art. Ultimately it is the interrelationship of these forms, colours and textures, which remain present in her work.

Marilyn Simler is a contemporary British artist whose work delves into personal experiences through layers of color and texture, embracing an organic and tactile approach. Growing up in South Africa, with its stunning natural beauty, diverse cultures, vibrant colors, and intense light, has profoundly influenced her artistic vision.

Simler's imagery is shaped by her fascination with the sea and its environment, as well as the art of past and present civilizations. In her work, layers of time and space are both concealed and revealed, inviting viewers to engage with the depth of her creations. She aspires to create pieces that not only capture attention but also challenge perceptions through dynamic colors and forms.

Working in mixed media, Simler employs a variety of techniques, including painting, drawing, collage, and printing, to develop rich and varied surfaces that showcase the artist’s hand rather than relying on digital flatness. Constantly exploring new avenues of inspiration, she draws from her travels, the vastness of deserts with their diverse formations, colors, and textures, as well as the legacies of ancient civilizations.
