The following excerpt about the artist's technique was taken from Wally Findlay Galleries website where his work was featured before being acquired by the current owner:
"Just as Simbari's
style in painting is his own, so his technique in painting is his own. He is meticulous and exacting in the choice of materials: he accepts only the finest canvas and prepares it with care; he has his colors ground by a family in northern Italy who have been engaged in this work for three hundred years; he mixes his own pigment. He is continuously developing new graduations of color or new colors, and exults when he has succeeded in adding a more brilliant one to the range of his palette, When he uses a brush, it is only to create the background of the painting, which is then completed with palette knives of which he has about twenty-five sizes ranging from very tiny ones to huge ones."
The painting is estimated at $5,000-7,000 and available for bidding now. Click here to bid
