Ucciderebbero per Averla Painting

Alessandro Siviglia was born in Salerno in 1982. He embarked on his artistic journey as a teenager, delving into the world of Graffiti Writing, drawn to the allure of Aerosol-Art, and devoted himself to this form of expression for over 15 years. His experience with graffiti heavily influenced his unique use of color and his bold, spontaneous brushstrokes when creating canvases. In 2000, Siviglia moved to Venice, where he mingled with local artists and gradually transitioned into painting on canvas, albeit unknowingly at first. The artist became increasingly captivated by acrylic painting, leaving graffiti behind, and began to create using any available materials, such as recycled boards, old doors, or cabinet doors. This newfound approach marked a pivotal shift in Siviglia’s artistic career, allowing him to incorporate the graffiti style into his canvas work, characterized by softer shapes and larger dimensions. In 2008, he relocated to Valencia, Spain, a period that significantly influenced his vibrant and sunny style, evident in his current artworks. After two years in Spain, following the death of his father, Siviglia returned to Salerno to support his family, entering a challenging and oppressive phase of his life. In 2014, Siviglia moved to Rome, dedicating himself full-time to his art. He focused exclusively on painting, organized multiple exhibitions in the city center, and opened his first studio. In 2019, he and his family decided to return to Salerno, where he continued to create despite the pandemic. Feeling a strong pull back to Rome in 2022, he returned in 2023. In 2024, Siviglia opened his new studio in the EUR district of Rome, featuring a large showroom to exhibit his works and welcome collectors by appointment. Siviglia can be described as a modern nomad deeply rooted in his homeland, with a profound love for Naples, which he celebrates in various ways. Over the years, Siviglia has developed a distinct and recognizable style—a contemporary cubist approach with bright colors, recurring characters, and symbols. His diverse series of paintings include portraits of lovers, professionals, women, urban landscapes of major Italian cities like Rome, Naples, and Venice, as well as sacred paintings depicting Christ, the Madonna with child, and saints such as Saint Agatha and Saint Francis of Assisi.
