Sergio Paul Ianniello

Sergio Paul Ianniello is a Brisbane-based professional artist whose evocative paintings blend figurative portraiture with richly imagined landscapes. His work is defined by expressive realism—where emotion, atmosphere, and storytelling meet. Using vibrant complementary colours, Sergio creates luminous compositions with a strong sense of depth and mood, drawing viewers into scenes that feel both intimate and timeless.
Working primarily in acrylics, Sergio achieves clean, radiant colour and subtle glazing effects that enhance the drama and elegance of each piece. His distinctive style has earned him prize wins, finalist placements in major national art competitions, and exhibitions in respected Brisbane galleries. His artworks are held in private collections across Australia and internationally.
Every painting is created on professional-grade canvas, factory stretched over a solid wooden frame and delivered ready to hang. Sergio uses only high-quality paints and archival mediums to ensure long-lasting colour brilliance and durability. Each artwork is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity, giving collectors complete confidence in their investment.
