Artwork Description

This painting is a representation of a very special day in my life. I was 6 years old and we were in Mérida, a very cold city in Venezuela. We were on vacation driving when we saw a beautiful river but with a lot of current. I told my dad that I wanted to get in the water. I remember that it was freezing but the emotion was bigger and I got in carefully. The rivers fascinate me. My dad held my hand from the shore, but suddenly I let go... and I went with the flow while he ran with his panicked face... I was so happy 😁, I had no idea of ​​the danger that was happening. I got stuck on something and he was able to catch me and everything flowed perfectly. Today I remember his face of panic and my adrenaline of happiness. The best thing about this situation was seeing -when I became an adult-, the two emotional points of view from the perspective of a child compared to an adult. Sometimes I would like to be a girl again and feel that infinite flow of life without the stress we have about things.

Artist Bio

Alejandra Sieder is a Venezuelan-born, Australian and Spanish contemporary artist based in Sydney. Trained in Graphic Design at the Hans Neumann Design Institute in Caracas, her visual language was shaped by the legacy of Latin American masters Jesús Soto and Carlos Cruz-Diez, whose work taught her that art is not simply observed—it is experienced.

Having lived in Venezuela, Spain, Norway and Australia, Sieder draws from contrasting landscapes, cultures and emotional experiences. Her practice moves between geometric precision and organic expression, exploring perception, memory, movement and transformation. Through layered textures, monochromatic structures, expressive gestures and light-reactive pigments, she creates abstract works that shift with their environment and invite a personal emotional response.

Her recent Australian exhibitions include Affordable Art Fair Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Internationally, her work has been presented at Affordable Art Fair Berlin, Austin and Hong Kong, as well as Spectrum Miami, where she received the Best International Exhibitor Award in 2024.

Sieder was a finalist in the 2025 OMNIA Art Prize in Melbourne and has received multiple finalist selections associated with the Lethbridge Art Prize. Her work has also been exhibited in Singapore, London, Edinburgh, Madrid and Norway and is held in private collections internationally.

Each painting is conceived as an emotional map—a meeting point between structure and intuition, stillness and movement, the visible world and the inner landscape.
