Sergio Aiello (born 1967) began his journey in life drawing in 1989 under artist Maria Peila. From 1990, he continued his training in Turin at the studio of master painter
Romano Campagnoli.
His first solo exhibition, "Nudo" (Nude), took place in 1994, featuring drawings and watercolors stemming from his study of the human figure. A turning point in his personal
research came in 1996 through his encounter with Master Alfredo Pirri. This led him to landscape painting on large jute surfaces, resulting in his first solo painting exhibition,
"Orizzonte Continuo" (Continuous Horizon), in 1997. His work—from the "Orizzonti" (Horizons) and "Astrazione di Paesaggio" (Landscape Abstraction) cycles to the "Latino Americana"
and "Visioni Contemporanee" series—represents a rigorous and instinctive analytical experimentation.
Between 1996 and 1999, he trained in wood sculpture and carving with Master Giuseppe Binel in Donnas (AO). Later, during 2007–2008, he mastered the techniques of "Vero Fresco"
(True Fresco) and sgraffito with fresco artists Maria Assunta Alterio and Giovanni Montagna in Turin.
In 2011, he painted the series "Paesaggi su fondo bianco" (Landscapes on White Background). In 2012, he developed the projects "Guadando Il Nero" (Wading Through Black),
"Paesaggi Complementari", and "Guardando il Cielo". The same year, his solo exhibition "Guadando il Nero" in Turin and Saluzzo showcased works of deconstructed landscapes.
His 2016 solo show "Interno-Intorno" in Finalborgo (SV) served as a continuum of his artistic path, acting almost as a landscape retrospective. In 2017, he presented
the solo exhibition "Volgo lo sguardo" (I Turn My Gaze) at the Ecomuseo del Freidano in Settimo Torinese.
In 2019, he launched the "Metamorfo" project, which evolved into the series "Così vicino così lontano" (So Close So Far) from 2021 onwards. His 2023 solo exhibition
"Nevi Con_Temporanee" (Con_Temporary Snows) offers a reflection on the ephemeral, exploring man as a cause and the confrontation with mountain spaces. Since 2023,
he has been working on the ongoing series "Ars Liberat", and in 2025, he introduced the stucco bas-reliefs of the "Waveforms- Forme d’Onda" series.
His work has been reviewed by: Nadine Bayek, Daniele Dantonio, Massimiliano Muraro, Ivano Bardini, Gianfranco Schialvino, Virgilio Patarini, Angelo Mistrangelo,
Aldo Spinardi, and Antonio Oberti.
He lives and works in Pertusio, small village in the country in front of Piedmont Alps.
