"My Paintings are my Diaries" - Nicola Simbari.
Nicola Simbari (1927-2012) was an Italian painter, known for working in the Impressionism style.
As a painter, Simbari initially was interested in mainly the avant-garde movement. Braque was his first god, and later followed his admiration for Miró. Gradually, he became involved in an effort to tell a story with his paintings, so he changed to a more introverted approach.
Meanwhile, Simbari began developing an admiration for Gauguin, Van Gogh, and de Staël. Gradually finding himself free from influence, he developed the style now recognized as Simbaresco.
