About the Artist:
(Artist Bio)
SIEL is a danish artist, born in Denmark in 1988.
He spent his early childhood in Stockholm, Sweden, before his family moved to Frederikshavn, Denmark, where he then grew up in a small town setting, close to the sea, beaches and forests.
At the age of 17 he moved to Viborg, Denmark to study animation, but left to pursue a career in traditional art, experience and adventure.
This resulted in 4 years in Spain, 2 Years in London and 2 Years in Florence.
After 8 Years living, working and travelling abroad he then returned back to Denmark where he currently lives and works out of Aarhus.
Working with mixed media, Siel is both a analogue and a digital artist, taking advantage of the best in both worlds.
You will often find a storyline in his different series exploring either new worlds or personal growth and as a viewer you are quickly engaged and drawn into his universe.
He uses storytelling to engage his audience and even though his art takes you to distant worlds, you will find strong references to current and relevant issues facing the world today.
Lately his work has been exploring the consequences of living in the anthropocene age, taking us on a walk through the world we’re risking to create.
