In portretele sale Simionoiu aduce tipologii inconfundabile de romani ai zilelor noastre â?? antieroi, grotesti, subtil induiosatori sau rizibili, the average Romanian in anii 2000. Portretele se plaseaza undeva intre ironia subtila, revelabila la a doua lectura si retorica unui romantism cliseizat; se construieste amuzant si grav in jurul unui pattern al amorului si umorului de apartament de bloc. Pictura tonics, plina de finete si forta în acelasi timp, isi asuma sarcina dificila de a devoala le cache des individus et dâ??une partie de la societe.

Simionoiuâ??s portraits feature recognizable typologies of present-day Romanians: they are antiheroical figures, grotesque touching or simply risible. In between the subtle irony which reveals itself only at a second glance and the rethoric of a clichéd Romanticism, the references are made at the erotic pattern of a routined daily life in a block of flats. Funny, forceful, and sophisticated his work is assuming the difficult task of revealing le cache des individus et dâ??une partie de la societe.
