Finding Each Other

Aden Senycia is a mixed media artist and music producer who fuses colour with kinesis, collaging abstract shapes, textures, and experiments in formalism with graffiti, which was his first passion. Aden examines and attempts to contain universal emotional complexities, impossible worlds and the purgatory of desire through the lens of colour and shapes.

A third-culture kid with strong ties to the Ukraine, Aden spent his formative years in Oman in the Middle East, which established a lifetime quest for identity and belonging. Through his own profound sense of displacement, pursuit of community and quest for solace, he creates a spiritual home for both himself and the viewer in his compositions.

Aden successfully held his first solo art exhibition ‘Sharp Love, Slow Faint’ in mid-2023, at shopfront 740 in Melbourne, Australia. In march of 2025 he held his second solo exhibition “Free Spirit, Trauma and Economy’ at Brunswick Street Gallery. He recently completed a 15-metre-long mural at the iconic Mamma Chens in Footscray, where other examples of his work grace the walls.

We are all looking for connection, it’s often hard to admit, to unmask, to find the right time and emotional capacity to let ourselves be. Genuine connection becomes more difficult when faced with chronic illness, you re-learn yourself, your body and the formats available to you to find people who may understand. After all, you are in a glass house, fragile and constantly the observer. But there can be beauty in watching others thrive, there’s also a deep fury and envy becomes all too familiar. ‘Finding Each Other’ is about the connections formed in the most vulnerable, ego-killing experience that is navigating chronic illness, often found in the people catapulted into the same pond.
