BIO & Series Presentation

Born in the United States to Cuban parents and raised across Latin America and Europe, Alicia Conill Biebernick brings a deeply global perspective to her work. Her paintings are rooted in personal and collective journeys—layering memory, migration, and belonging through vibrant abstractions of nature.

Working primarily in acrylic and mixed media, Alicia incorporates elements such as newspapers, maps and collage to explore the intersection of origin and place. Her imagery often features trees and local references, filtered through a lens of cultural nuance and emotional resonance.

Alicia holds a background in fine arts and has exhibited in Geneva, Brussels, Munich, and Atlanta. Her work is held in private collections across the globe, reflecting both her international roots and the universal themes of her artistic practice.

Current Exhibition:

ROOTS TO RESILIENCE (Geneva, Switzerland)
By Alicia Conill Biebernick and Irene Venetsanou

A tree rises where it wasn’t meant to grow.

Sculptural forms hold the tension of movement

and stillness, shaped by time and weather. They

bend without breaking. Even here, blooms find a

way.

Roots to Resilience is a shared reflection on

nature, adaptation, and belonging — the echo

of origin, the reshaping of identity, the quiet

beauty of becoming elsewhere. Through

painting and sculpture, Alicia and Irene explore

the silent strength of transformation: how roots

stretch, how identity shifts, how new ground is

claimed without forgetting the old.
Rooted in motion, these works ask: Can we grow

and blossom in unfamiliar places without losing who we are?

Previous series:

LAYERS OF LIFE (Atlanta, GA USA)

Working off her own photographs and small-scale studies, Alicia uses the palette knife to add several juxtaposed layers of color, textures and details to enrich the experience. In many pieces, local newspaper collage, typography or pieces of nature from the country of origin are incorporated.

Every line, color and symbol has a meaning…and is an invitation to wonder (and discover) what it could be.

PIERS OF STARNBERGER SEE: (Munich, Germany)

Ever since I can remember, I've loved walking on the rustic, wooden pier slabs that get smaller and smaller as you move further into the body of water the platform is built over. There is a feeling of journey, infinity and peace when looking at a pier from the shore. The one constant in a stage of water and sky that continuously change throughout the day and year. The pier reacts to the light, colors and water that surrounds it, yet remains still and fortunate to always be a witness to the elements. This is what I strive to capture in my paintings of this last series, which I began after moving to Starnberg, Germany, in the outskirts of Munich.
