Nicholas Biscardi
Nicholas Biscardi is a native New Yorker who earned his degree in Fine Art from the school of Visual Arts. After graduating he spent several years in Italy's Lake Como district as a fashion textile designer where he simultaneously persued his passion for painting. The rich, natural ambiance of the Italian countryside inspired him to create dreamlike landscapes and fresh, innovative nature studies.
The effects of light on water inspired him further when he settled, for a time, on the picturesque Gulf coast of Florida. The ever changing landscape of sun, sea and sky enabled him to explore his avid interest in seascapes. Subsequent regular visits to the Italian Isle of Capri and Sicily enriched this vision. Nicholas's innate color sense and inventive textural vocabulary gleaned from his paintings, translated into his designs for fashion and home textiles, and later, dinnerware, giftware and poster mediums.
The consistent thread in all of his art, whether in traditional or digital mediums, has been a fresh new take on nature.

"The directness of on-site painting is something I need. It helps balance the careful and designed images from my studio. I enjoy painting both ways and exhibit both kinds of work. My work is realistic and decorative and often has a storytelling quality. I work to capture the textures and rich colors I find when I paint outdoors in strong sunlight or moody weather. My paintings reflect my interest in the profusion of blooms, the presence of native architecture and the atmospheric perspective in landscape. My aim is to obtain a realistic result captured with an immediacy of gesture."

Her desire is for everyone to know how much they are truly loved and created to SHINE brilliantly, as they step out in faith and Dare to love, and to live their own adventure.
"I have created this series as a point of inspiration to others who are valiantly facing various adversities and grief in their life - to ride the storm, to recognize the beauty in the simple things in life, and ultimately to find themselves in a place where they can 'Shine again'."

I construct scenes which combine life experiences with a blend of imagination and photo research.

If I am inspired deeply, then I hope I can touch others in the same way by my designs. Ever since I can remember, I have been surrounded by art. My grand parents, successful artists in their own right as well as my father Michael Jerry were truly the base of my inspiration to start my own design path. Design, color, form and photography are fascinating to me. I hope to continue to create artwork that everyone can enjoy and find my art as a way to put a smile on their face!"
