ABOUT

Ali Pilli is a self taught abstract painter who explores understanding human psychology along with colour /design and their connections to the world. Inspired by capturing a mood she works in layers on canvas to reflect the details of life and the soul. Her works are both stubble and bold and have been referred to as 'elevated tie-dye'.
​
Her serene yet playfully layered colorfield style invites audiences to take note of their own psychological transcendence as they view her work. Paintings acting as a place were audiences can meet in contradiction and learn to embrace life's awe inspiring simplicity and vast complexity. Her most recent works the glamour of memory — the way the past lingers in light, colour, and atmosphere. Artworks drawing on on retro nostalgia, cinematic softness, and an effortless femininity.
​
Pilli's work is held in private collections across North America, Europe, and the Middle East, and has been placed in prominent commercial spaces including Aria in Las Vegas, Bedford Post Inn in New York and 138 Yorkville in Toronto.
