From age 2, Simon Simonian discovered his purpose in the arts and pursued it as his lifelong career, all the way through higher education.

Simonian’s aesthetic calling has always been to create functional art, including the breadth of that which is structural and environmental. Thus, he pursued architecture. However, he also pursued fine art.

As an architect, Simonian’s career spans many residential, commercial and public projects to working for Walt Disney® Imagineering. This expertise also expanded in time to development and construction, with Simonian having a contractor’s license. He possesses much experience and professional knowledge in designing and building.

As a fine artist, his works have been featured in various English language and international publications and other media, including television. Simonian has worked in oils, acrylics, pastels, charcoal, graphite and other mixed media to create paintings, drawings, relief sculptures and other works of fine art.

Having these dual callings, Simonian eventually discovered his passion for a very special medium, stained/leaded glass or art glass, where he could truly integrate his knowledge in both fields to create exclusive creations in this very special form of functional art, becoming particularly renowned for his marvelous skylight domes.

Known especially for such creations, Simonian is one of the very few handful in the world who are capable of designing and creating such works, including oval-shaped domes, which are considered rare architectural marvels.

His unique qualifications have also made him renowned for accomplishing sensitive and seemingly impossible historical renovations.

Simonian resides and operates in Southern California.
