Nicola Simbari
Italian painter Nicola Simbari used vivid color to convey the beauty and richness of life. His figurative paintings and drawings were often set in serene Mediterranean landscapes, giving them a romantic quality. Simbari had a distinctive contemporary and expressionist style characterized by broad strokes of saturated pastels, creating scenes that seemed to be soaked in sunlight.
Simbari was born in 1927 in Calabria, Italy, a region known for its stunning sea vistas. When he was three years old, his family moved to Rome, where his father worked as an architect at the Vatican. Surrounded and enthralled by the city’s cultural masterpieces, Simbari decided to pursue art. He studied painting and architecture at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma and opened his studio when he was 22 years old.
In 1953, Simbari held his first solo show in Rome and won a best stage design award for the musical Tarantella Napoletana. In 1958, he had a solo show in London and a mural commission for the Italian Pavilion at the Brussels World’s Fair.
Simbari never stopped growing as an artist. He experimented with many styles throughout his career and constantly pursued new colors to expand his range as a painter. When he died in 2012, Simbari was considered one of Italy’s greatest living artists.
Today, Simbari’s work is held in both private and public collections across the globe, including the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Liberty Company, the Christian Dior Collection, the Bank of Tokyo, the University of Cincinnati Fine Arts Department, the Exxon Corporation and the Tulsa Bank of Commerce.
Simbari’s paintings continue to resonate with viewers. In 2021, Findlay Galleries in Palm Beach, Florida, presented “Mediterraneo,” an exhibition of his landscapes and figurative works.

- Dragons (Sacred Places)Located in Greenwich, CTDragons is a serigraph on paper with an image size 13 x 13 inches, signed 'Ricker' lower right and annotated lower left. Framed in a contemporary gold-tone frame. Numbered 29/200, from the edition of 500 (there were also 50 Roman on paper, 200 Arabic on canvas and 50 Roman on canvas). Framed in a contemporary silver-tone moulding. Ricker created four stunning images for a suite titled ‘Sacred Places’ – all powerful images of earthly splendor. The vistas he paints, almost desolate in a primeval way, are a chorus of voices that sing of the glory of nature. In a style which he calls ‘Epic Visionary,’ he presents a view that is at once new and fresh and yet as deep-rooted and enduring as the pristine landscapes themselves. In the images of ‘Sacred Places,’ Ricker’s harmonious layering and blending of colors, muted blues and greens, contrast with the jutting precipices and craggy outcrops of rock that punctuate each portrait. The effects of the elements are visible and beautiful, creating carved layers in the rock and earth, and weaving a ribbon of shimmering water as a central feature in each work. “…these places…are sacred places – they are sacred because their beauty is so deep and mysterious that we are stopped in our tracks…for the moment, we can’t imagine anything better on earth or in heaven.” – Bruce...Category
