About me

I’m Alejandra (Alex) Sieder — full-time visual artist & graphic designer based in Australia, after living in Spain and Norway. Art has been my way to move forward, to explore and to stay connected for more than 30 years.

My work is born from silence — from that inner space where words disappear and only rhythm, texture and presence remain. I paint to quiet the noise, to create calm. Each line, each mark and each layer becomes a form of meditation. Through repetition and gesture, I find balance between control and surrender, between structure and flow.

My work is rooted in abstraction, patterns and repetition. As I studied psychology and wellbeing, I discovered why these slow, repetitive gestures have such a calming effect on the nervous system. They helped me navigate change, stress and motherhood — and now I share them in my workshops.

My paintings are an exploration of contemplative and mindful abstraction — a practice that connects me to what is essential, while inviting others to do the same: to pause, to breathe, to simply be. I work with textures that ask to be seen slowly, surfaces that seem to breathe with the light. For me, texture is memory — the trace of time, emotion and energy as it moves during creation.

“My art is a meditation. Each mark is a breath; each pattern, a pause.”

I create large-scale works, limited edition prints and bespoke commissions for homes, collectors and corporate spaces. Every piece invites you to pause, feel and step into presence — while also reminding you of the creative fire that lives within us.

I believe that art holds a healing power. Repetition, rhythm and visual silence are languages that soothe the mind and bring the body back to stillness. Through the act of creating — and contemplating — we reconnect with ourselves, with nature and with the equilibrium that everyday life often takes away.

My purpose is to share that space. Through both my collections and my workshops (Soul Patterns: The Art of Pause), I offer experiences that merge beauty with introspection, art with consciousness and seeing with feeling.

My work is not meant to be explained — it’s meant to be felt.
I hope those who encounter it experience a moment of quiet, a soft breath of presence.
Because sometimes, only in stillness, we find our truest selves.
