Contemporary Painter

Alessandro Sicioldr (b. 1990, Tuscania, Italy) is an Italian painter whose work explores the liminal space between dream and waking consciousness.

Born in the ancient Etruscan town of Tuscania, he developed an early artistic sensibility and was trained in his father’s studio rather than through a conventional academic path.

There, he immersed himself in classical painting techniques, studying traditional methods including those outlined in Cennino Cennini’s Il Libro dell’Arte and mastering the preparation of pigments, drawing discipline, and oil technique.

This foundation in historical practice continues to inform his highly refined technical approach.

Working primarily in oil, pencil, and colored pencil, Sicioldr creates meticulously rendered compositions that emerge from dreams and the unconscious.

His hyperreal precision, reminiscent of the Flemish masters, gives tangible form to intimate yet otherworldly visions. Hybrid beings, solitary figures, and enigmatic architectures inhabit suspended, symbolic spaces that feel both timeless and psychologically charged.

Drawing on Surrealism, Symbolism, and the chromatic and spatial tensions of Mannerism, his paintings function as portals into parallel interior worlds.

Sicioldr’s works give visual form to experiences that resist language. Through extraordinary attention to detail and controlled light, his solemn, introspective figures embody emotional and psychological states that resonate universally.

Painting, for him, becomes both revelation and inquiry a means of illuminating hidden layers of the self and the shared uncertainties, desires, and fears that shape human existence.

His solo exhibitions include Lode all’Abisso (Blu Gallery, Bologna, 2014); Sogni, visioni, ombre (Galleria Nero, Rome, 2016); Il giardino cintato (Blu Gallery, 2016); Noturno (RvB Arts, Rome, 2017); and Teatro rovesciato: il sogno del mondo (Primo Marella Gallery, Milan, 2018).

In the early 2020s, he presented a major trilogy at Primo Marella Gallery: Il Maestro, la Voce, la Luce (2022), Il sogno dell’annuncio (2023), and Il Sonno Aureo (2024).

In 2025, he debuted in Asia with Gleam of a Silent Ecstasy at Hoban Artrium, Gwacheon, Seoul.

His work has also been featured in the survey exhibition New Surrealism: The Uncanny in Contemporary Painting, situating him within a global dialogue on contemporary visionary art.
