Linda Pirri was born in Los Angeles in the 1950′s to an extended, exuberant Italian family and grew up in the hills and beaches of Orange County. Vibrantly colored and creatively composed, Linda Pirri's tropical-inspired artwork brings light into and room. Pirri is recognized as a contemporary master of the ancient art form called "Serti", or the painting on pure silk. This exquisite art technique was practiced in ancient cultures to create silk screens, paintings and ceremonial kimonos you see in museums today. Linda Pirri begins with a pure white piece of the finest silk and stretches it as a painter does a canvas, but instead of paint, only the finest French dyes are used. As she works, weather conditions such as sun, temperature, and moisture spontaneously affect each painting and contribute to it's unique beauty. Truly passionate about pristine natural beauty, this energy is expressed through Linda Pirri's intuitive and unique use of color and bold composition. Her style is considered fauvist.
