Silvio Silvestri (b. 1948) is a celebrated Northern California-based plein air artist who paints on location throughout the western United States and Europe, and whose work is influenced by French, American, Spanish, and Russian Impressionists. He studied with Kenn Backhaus, Ron Rencher, George Strickland, T.M. Nicholas, and Robert Sandidge.
Silvestri began painting in the mid-1970s as a hobby, and embarked upon a professional art career in the early 1990s. His awards include 2nd place, Napa Museum Plein Air Exhibition, 2003; 1st place, Catalina Art Festival, 2003 & 2004; Honorary Mention, Carmel Art Festival, 2001; Best Plein Air Show, Laguna Plein Air Association, 2007 & 2008; and Best Plein Air Painter, Catalina Art Festival, 2008. less
