Simon is a great entertainer. He not only plays with modernity in his paintings in the style of the old masters, but even writes “medieval” books. His most famous work is called “The Code of Simon de Thuillières” (Le Codex de Simon de Thuillières), and he wrote it in a “quasi-Old French language” that he invented himself.
