Exploring the Art of Alessandro Florio – A Journey Through Sicily and Beyond

This month, we are proud to feature Alessandro Florio, an Italian contemporary artist whose deeply personal work bridges his Sicilian roots with global influences. Florio's instinctive approach and conceptual style have made him a rising name in the international art scene.

In our latest Artist Spotlight, we explore Florio’s journey—from his self-taught beginnings to exhibitions at Art Basel Miami and his solo show Window to the South in Taormina. His canvases, layered with meaning and memory, capture his philosophy:

“L’arte è un dialogo senza fine” ("Art is an ongoing dialogue")

A standout piece in his collection, San Francesco Agli Animali, reinterprets the relationship between humanity and nature through a contemporary lens. Inspired by San Francesco d'Assisi, the painting reimagines devotion—not toward humans, but animals—advocating for their grace and sincerity. The organic flow of figures and forms evokes a serene yet dynamic connection between the sacred and the natural world, reflecting Sicily’s timeless interplay of faith and landscape.

Discover how his Sicilian heritage shapes other pieces like Threesome, Grand Hotel Timeo, and Miami Dream 79, each infused with stories of connection, spirituality, and place.
