AURELIAN | Ricardo CID シド

Two eyes. Two worlds. One untold story.

In AURELIAN, a single face reveals two different ways of seeing the world. One vivid blue eye looks directly at the viewer, while the other, half-closed, seems to preserve memories and experiences that remain unspoken.

The character's asymmetric gaze, expressive features and sculptural textures create a portrait of quiet strength. Layers of acrylic, oil paint and hand-worked relief give the surface physical depth, allowing light and shadow to transform the face throughout the day.

Part of the PRESENCIAS collection, AURELIAN embodies Ricardo CID シド's distinctive visual language, SHIDO シド, where figurative neo-expressionism meets geometry, abstraction and influences from urban art, with subtle echoes of Japanese aesthetics reflected in the expressiveness of his figures and the strength of his brushwork.

AURELIAN is an original contemporary figurative painting by Ricardo CID シド, a Spanish contemporary artist based in Madrid. Working across acrylic, oil and sculptural relief, CID develops SHIDO シド, his own pictorial language distinguished by asymmetric eyes, expressive human figures and a distinctive combination of painting and physical texture.

The artwork is conceived as a unique original piece for private art collections and contemporary interiors, bringing a strong visual identity and a sense of human presence into the space.

Some stories are told without words.
