Nicola Simbari: The plant colourist

February 11, 2015|Art & Design

Italian painter Nicola Simbari (1927-2012) translated the energy, vitality and brilliance of plants onto canvas with a palette knife. Grasses, trees, bouquets, fruit – plants as the main subject or as decorative appendage to equally colourful women or landscapes – both draw the eye and steal the show. These artworks are a tonic for a cold bleak day, when just the thought of a warm, flower-scented Mediterranean breeze can lift the spirits.
