ABOUT ARTIST

Sergio Paul Ianniello is a professional artist based in Brisbane, Australia. He creates beautiful paintings that evoke an emotional response. Figures and portraits in a landscape dominate the content of his work and he is highly skilled at using complimentary colours to create luminosity. He focusses on an expressive, realistic style that is at times quirky and surreal.

He has been awarded for his work, has exhibited in various Brisbane galleries and has often been a finalist in a variety of art competitions.
