Alessandro Sicioldr — La torre
Alessandro Sicioldr

La torre

2025

In "La torre," painted in oil on linen in 2025, Alessandro Sicioldr constructs a scene of quiet spiritual encounter set across two distinct spatial registers. At the summit of what appears to be a crumbling tower, a walled garden offers refuge, its lush enclosure evoking the ancient tradition of the hortus conclusus, a space simultaneously sacred and sealed from the wider world. Within this protected interior, a seated figure cradles what reads as an idol or numinous presence, rendered in a luminous yellow that draws the eye inward and upward. A second figure approaches from below, bowing in a gesture that suggests reverence, pilgrimage, or surrender, as though this traveler has arrived at the end of a long and uncertain journey. The composition's vertical division is not merely structural but deeply symbolic, separating the profane and the sacred, the exposed and the sheltered, the seeker and the sought. Beyond the garden wall, a frozen mountain landscape extends in tones of cold grey and blue, a panoramic horizon that feels less inviting than indifferent, amplifying the warmth and significance of the enclosed space above. Sicioldr uses this contrast between interior sanctuary and vast, glacial exterior to heighten the emotional stakes of the encounter taking place within the tower's garden, a meeting that feels both ancient in its iconographic resonance and wholly interior in its psychological register. Sicioldr is recognized for figurative paintings that draw on symbolic and visionary traditions, weaving literary, alchemical, and spiritual imagery into compositions of striking formal beauty. "La torre" exemplifies his sustained investigation into thresholds, transformation, and the hidden ceremonies of the inner life. At 100 by 120 centimeters, the work carries presence without overwhelming a domestic or intimate collection space, and its signed status confirms its standing as a primary market offering presented through Primo Marella Gallery.
