About Me
Hi I am Wayde
Hello, I’m a proud Wiradjuri/Birpai man, also known as Aléjandro a queer, Aboriginal artist and qualified art therapist dedicated to empowering others through creativity. My work is deeply influenced by my experiences as a gay person of colour in Australia, and I use art to spotlight social issues, challenge perceptions, and celebrate cultural identity.
Although I’ve always had a passion for art, my journey as a professional artist began in 2018 when I started selling my work. Over time, this path has expanded to include collaborations with businesses and private clients, creating unique installations, commissioned pieces, and tailored projects that merge my cultural perspectives with their visions.
In addition to these artistic collaborations, I lead educational workshops on Aboriginal art for children and adults, and I offer art therapy sessions aimed at promoting self-expression, reducing stress, and fostering personal growth. By combining my artistic practice with therapeutic techniques, I strive to create a supportive space where people can harness the transformative power of creativity in their daily lives.
Art has been a guiding force in my own journey of self-discovery, and as I’ve grown and evolved, my artwork has done the same. It’s an ongoing exploration of identity, personal development, and cultural roots one that I hope inspires others to embark on their own paths toward healing and self-awareness.
If you’d like to learn more about my artwork, explore a potential collaboration, or join an art therapy session, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s connect and discover the power of art together.
