About Me
“Inspiring art that moves the soul and evokes joy, peace, calm, serenity , and hope-That's Alicia Colella Art”
Alicia Colella is a contemporary visual, mixed media fine artist. She specializes in pen and ink of architectural renderings and acrylic paintings. From the vibrant city of Puebla, Mexico, now nestled in the enchanting and welcoming city of Charleston, SC. Her artistic illustrations comes to life through the dance of pen and ink, as well as the vivid strokes of acrylics. The essence of her acrylic creations is inspired by Charleston’s breathtaking landscapes, the gentle seduction of the Lowcountry, and the timeless Southern Charm that graces the city.
Her artistic journey commenced with childhood doodles and drawings and a fascination for architectural lines, captivated by the elegant architecture that adorned her hometown. The transition to Charleston was a step into a familiar dream; its architectural details felt like old friends. It was in this serendipitous meeting of worlds that she discovered her artistic calling. Seeking solace and purpose beyond the rigors of her role as an Accountant and the whirlwind of family life, she picked up her sketchbook. And just like that, her art journey unfolded. Since 2010, she began crafting intricate hand-drawn renditions of the Charleston’s historical and iconic gates. A few years back, her desire to wield the paintbrush led her to acrylic painting, where landscapes became her muse. Absent formal education, she embraced self-taught methods, honing skills through observation, practice, and deep appreciation for detail.

My Art Style & Inspiration
Art that inspires and moves the soul-evoking emotions of joy, peace, inspiration and tranquility, that’s Alicia Colella Art. The world is filled with chaos, my contribution to the world is to add visual beauty and leave a legacy with my artwork.
My artistic odyssey evolved from self-discovery, moments of quiet prayer, and the wide-eyed wonder of a child, allowing me to perceive the world through myriad lenses. I aim to encapsulate a harmonious blend of balance and symmetry. The stark interplay of black and white, coupled with the bold strokes of architectural lines, resonate deeply with me. Through acrylics, I envision moods that elicit deep emotions, employing a palette that dances between playful, vibrant, and soothing hues. My style leans towards soft scenic impressionism, where I seeks to interpret the captivating beauty that surrounds us through landscapes and other subjects of interest.
