Ricky Schembri

Born in Sydney, Australia 1972. I am predominantly a
pastel artist. For the last 10 years I have been painting local scenes in South West Country Victoria, mainly Koroit and Killarney where I have lived since 1996. Lately I have been drawn to city street scenes which is a good challenge.

I have won many awards and prizes in Australia and America. I had my first solo exhibition at the F Project in Warrnambool, Australia in 2017. A group exhibition in New York February 2019. Also representation in Arizona. I have been published in the “Inspiration International Art Book – Contemporary Masters Collection” Vol.4. in 2016.

I have been inspired by artist’s such as Maxwell Wilks, Ross Paterson, and recently Alvaro Castagnet.

I love putting color to a blank surface and letting the magic happen.
