On September 6, 2017, the Embassy of Argentina presented "Borgeana", a series of large watercolors on paper presented as an homage to Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges. In a style characteristic of Simes, a combination of images and text formed the structure of each artwork in the exhibition.

Throughout his career his aesthetic output has been conceived in diverse disciplines, including paper making, drawing, painting, sculpture, object-making, performance, photography, industrial design, applied arts and printmaking. An avid reader and traveler, his artistic production has been informed and modeled by literary, historical and philosophical currents, as well as observations made while traveling, creating the visual analogies that become his artworks.
