ABOUT

Stirling Caiulo creates paintings as sites of psychic and embodied transformation. His work is raw, symbolic, and rooted in empowerment, exploring what it means to reclaim form from fragmentation.

With a deep curiosity for the spirit realm, his practice invites viewers to contemplate the intersection of the tangible and the mystical. Each piece acts as a threshold: a passage through which the fragmented self might encounter wholeness, mystery, and power.

He has been a finalist in prestigious competitions, including the Lester Prize in both 2021 and 2022 and in 2023 the Bluethumb Portrait Prize and the Dean Cogle Prize.
