Sergio Paul Ianniello

I am professional artist based in Brisbane. I create beautiful paintings that evoke an emotional response. Figures and portraits in a landscape dominate the content of my work and I like to use complimentary colours to create luminosity. I generally focus on an expressive, realistic style that is at times quirky and surreal.

I have been awarded for my work, have exhibited in various Brisbane galleries and have often been a finalist in a variety of art competitions.

Over the years, I has sold many paintings and drawings nationally and internationally.

All my paintings are on professional-quality canvas, stretched over a wooden frame and ready to hang. I use high-quality paint and medium during the painting process to maintain the beautiful colours and longevity of my work. My paintings come with a Certificate of Authenticity. Delivery of my work is insured and securely packaged with several layers of thick bubble wrap in a sturdy cardboard box or wooden crate.
