The art
Christophe Siel, also known as SIEL, is a mixed media artist who seamlessly blends the analog and digital art worlds with an eye for detail and a unique approach to storytelling.
This is for him a powerful tool that quickly draws the viewer into his world. Despite otherworldly settings, SIEL's art often presents relevant and contemporary questions, encouraging the audience to awaken to the world around them.
Recently, SIEL's work has focused on the consequences of living in the Anthropocene era, depicting the world we risk creating. The resulting pieces are impactful and encourage introspection.
There are strong references to important issues facing the world today. He delivers engaging stories and raises important questions without pointing fingers. The aim is to leave the viewer with a slightly new perspective and with a smile question the deeper understanding of the world around us.
The man
SIEL is a danish artist, born in Frederikshavn Denmark in 1988.
The cold north was a great place for SIEL to get his feet grounded in the world, before creating his own worlds with paint.
He spent his early childhood in Stockholm, Sweden, before his family moved to Frederikshavn, Denmark, where he then grew up in a small town setting, close to the sea, beaches and forests which more than likely have had a impact on his works today which are usually grounded in nature.
Having exhibited in several places across Europe, London, Madrid, Copenhagen and Aarhus. He currently resides and works near Aarhus in his studio.
