River

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.

Alejandra Sieder is a Spanish-Australian artist who is currently living and working in Sydney, Australia. Sieder’s paintings are an abstract interpretation of her personal perception of the world around her and an exploration of the introspective self.

1.- EXPRESSING CONSCIOUSNESS:

Given that Sieder’s paintings are an exploration of consciousness and interiority, each work is different as it expresses a different mental process. While some pieces feel sombre and almost claustrophobic others are far softer and lighter, transmitting an atmosphere of hopefulness. Her work centres on the analysis of the human condition and how we respond to the situations we are confronted with.

2.- SUBJECTIVITY & MATERIALITY:

Sieder’s works start as personal subjective pieces, but once in the public realm move farther away from the personal and psychological, given the non-objective nature of abstraction. Sieder uses an innovative range of materials in her pieces, such as oil, acrylic, sand, ink, iron shavings and resin. These materials add an impasto physicality to the canvas that brings a new dimension and mimics her underlying emotional process.

3.- PRIZES & INTERNATIONAL COLLECTIONS:

Sieder has artworks in private and corporate collections and has exhibited in shows worldwide in countries such as Spain, Germany, Norway, Australia, the UK, and the USA. In 2017, 2018 and 2019, Sieder has been selected as a finalist for the Contemporary Art Award in Australia three years in a row.
