Paolo Sistilli was born in Italy. He graduated from the Utrecht Academy of Art and for thirty years has lived and worked as a professional artist in the Netherlands.
He exhibits his work in various European countries and it is also found in both public and private collections in the Netherlands and abroad. In 2011 he was invited to take part in the 54th International Art Exhibition Venice Biennale.
Over the years, Alfabeto Immaginario has been the theme of his works, which show an ongoing investigation, and form an inspiring representation of Paolo Sistilli's conceptual thinking.
The Alfabeto Immaginario, the imaginary alphabet, is fictitious. It springs from the fantasy, but is certainly not only fictitious.
Every character radiates the creative power of rational thinking. And every letter or symbol encapsulates the memory of ancient times, of the influence of human history. It exudes an atmosphere of times gone by, with myth and reality going hand in hand.
The Alfabeto Immaginario from the subtle transparent tones of grey, ochre, asphalt, black and white, like a sonata for four notes, into a symphony of primary colours. And througout Paolo Sistilli's signature is undeniably present.
The underlying concept is based on the 'archaeology of communication'. At a certain moment, a message loses its communicative sense, it passes into oblivion. What remains are the texts, written on walls, painted on panels. They fade under the influence of wind and weather as time passes. They lose their direct meaning and are transformed into a new alphabet, an alfabeto immaginario.
The Alfabeto Immaginario is an investigation into the atmosphere created by what remains of these texts. Faded by time, discoloured and reduced to delicate tones. Paolo Sistilli's works evoke the sensation of antique Pompeian walls. Or is it the atmosphere surrounding an old advertisement, faded by sun and smog? Both induce the same feeling of the value of time and encourage philosophical reflection.

- Female Nude, JeaneBy Nico VrielinkLocated in DEVENTER, NLNico Vrielink (Reusel, 1958) “Female Nude, Jeane” Signed lower left Nico Vrielink and dated 2006 Oil on canvas Frame included (traces of wear) Nico Vrielink was born in 1958 in Reusel (North Brabant, The Netherlands) At a young age he aspired to an artistic career and studied at the Academy of Arts in Belgium. He later became a teacher, which he did for only one year. He left for the Far East where he met his wife and muse Jeane in Singapore. That meeting would be a real turning point in his life, Jeane and Nico are inseparable after their meeting and he makes around 6000 paintings depicting her. Nico Vrielink's work is part of important Museum collections, corporate and private collections and six books have now been published about the work and life of this exceptional artist. His paintings are sold worldwide and he has exhibited more than 500 times, including in cities such as San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, Las Vegas, Miami, Hawaii, Washington DC, Berlin, Frankfurt, Djakarta, Singapore, Shanghai , Beijing, Amsterdam, London, Brussels, Paris, Vienna, Toronto and Sydney. Nico Vrielink works according to the academic method, from dark to light. In addition to his most famous subject Jeane, another theme is also particularly close to his heart, Eastern mysticism. In the paintings he makes of Jeane, too, we see that she gradually becomes more serene and reserved on canvas, and the backgrounds are also increasingly imbued with mysticism. In 2010, the intense relationship with Jeane came to an end. The erotic woman...Category
