Linda Le Kinff was born in Paris, France in 1949 and started her career as a painter at the age of 20, traveling to India, Tibet, Mexico and Italy in the 1970s for inspiration. Le Kinff lived and worked in Italy for twelve years learning the ancient techniques of tempera, egg painting and the gold leaf method taught by masters in Florence and Livorno, as well as taking an apprenticeship in wood engraving, copper engraving, and learned the modern techniques of acrylic and airbrush painting. In 1975 she learned about lithography, and the following year she met Okamoto Taro, known as “the Japanese Picasso,” who introduced her to the sand and sumi technique. In 1981 she spent six months in Morocco with Chaibia Talal studying abstract design before returning to school in south Tyrol where she became interested in painted, polished and varnished woodwork, using a special material made of casein. In the 21st Century she has begun to experiment with collage, and is famous for working without a model, relying on her memories of traveling, her dreams, and her imagination.
