About the sitter
Sandro Colarelli is an award-winning Australian actor, singer and contemporary performance maker. He has dedicated his career to enriching Brisbane’s cultural life by sharing stories through live performance. The role of an Artist, in his opinion, is to ‘provoke, to suggest an alternate view, and (to borrow from Shakespeare), hold a mirror up to nature.’
His perspective on the intertwining nature of art and life, his passionate advocacy for culture and ongoing encouragement to never shy away from exploring new ideas has constantly inspired me, not only as an Artist but also as my Father.
