Aleksander Sielicki
(b. 1951, Wroclaw, Poland | Lives and works in Toronto, Ontario)

Aleksander is a Polish abstract artist known for dynamic, gravity-driven paintings that explore the invisible forces shaping our world. His work is distinguished by its raw physicality and meditative layering, appealing to collectors who value emotional resonance, movement, and the interplay between control and surrender.

Raised in post-war Poland and influenced by both natural phenomena and philosophical inquiry, Aleksander began painting in his early twenties as a deeply personal means of expression. After graduating the Wroclaw Academy of Fine Arts, he developed a distinct approach rooted in abstract expressionism and a fascination with unseen energies—magnetism, gravity, time.

Working primarily in oil and acrylic on canvas, wood, and aluminum, Aleksander explores themes of cosmic rhythm, impermanence, and the natural order. He paints using gravity as his collaborator, tilting and rotating his surfaces to allow the paint to move and settle intuitively. His process is experimental and embodied, resulting in work that feels both elemental and transcendent.

Over a career spanning five decades, Aleksander has exhibited in galleries across Canada and Europe. Notable highlights include Gallery of Nice in France, Barbara From Library in Toronto and multiple European shows & recently a feature in Space Art Gala in New York. His work is held in private collections throughout North America, Poland, Germany, Holland, Italy, Switzerland as well as Japan and continues to resonate with new audiences drawn to its balance of spontaneity and spiritual depth.

As Aleksander's practice continues to evolve, his work is gaining recognition for its immersive quality and its ability to evoke a quiet yet powerful contemplation of the unseen.
