Puiatti uses color, depth and light to express an
intimacy with nature and an observation of natural structure. She
paints primarily with oils on canvas in her Holmes studio, as well
as outdoors in the fields and hills of Duchess and Ulster County.
Smaller field studies created en plein aire in warm weather months
give way to larger canvases painted in the studio during winter.
“...on closer
examination, whether a vase full of lilacs or a field of grass and
rocks, the objects she paints seem almost to dissolve into
abstraction. The play of shadow and light is her real subject,
regardless of the genre.”
- From ”Abstracted Realism: The Alla Prima Paintings of Linda
Puiatti“ by Barbara Rizza Mellin
