Nicola Simbari is a sought after Italian artist who used a palette knife to achieve dimension and depth of color. At age 22, after graduating from the Accademia Delle Belle Arti, Nicola Simbari opened his first studio in Rome. After a solo exhibition in London, he was commissioned to paint murals for the Italian Pavilion at the 1958 World’s Fair in Brussels, which earned him critical acclaim. Scenes from Simbari’s childhood in Calabria, such as gypsies, cafes, fishing villages, and the Italian countryside are featured in his early works. Later works depict Mediterranean landscapes and contemporary European life as well as the scenes of the Southwest. Simbari's works can be found in numerous museums and private and corporate collections around the world including the Bank of Tokyo and the Christian Dior Collection in Paris; Italian State Railways in Rome; Liberty Company in London; and Tulsa Bank of Commerce, Cincinnati Fine Arts Department, Exxon Corporation, General Mills Corporation, and Pepsico, in America. Nicola Simbari was born in 1927 in San Lucido, Calabria, but was raised in Rome, where his father was an architect for the Vatican. He died in 2012 in Frascati, Lazio, Italy.
