Chiara Arsego

Chiara Arsego was born in Montecchio Maggiore, Vicenza, Italy in 1979.
She began her artistic studies in Italy, at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna in 1999. The harmony of nature and the dynamism of the human body were at the heart of her artistic research during her academic studing.
She honed her eye through contact with the great masters of painting from the 16th to the 9th century, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Rembrandt, and Ingres, and developed a refined taste for figurative painting and the anatomy of the human body. She exhibited for the first time in 2002 at the Gallery of Contemporary Art in Bologna, then in Rome, Paris, and Berlin. Curious by nature, Chiara experiments with numerous techniques: engraving, acrylic on canvas and paper, watercolor, Indian ink, charcoal drawing, red chalk, and mixed media, eventually deepening her exploration with large-format oil paintings, her favorite technique. Over the years, she has developed a personal universe between reality and imagination, blending emotions and memories, sometimes straying into mysterious lands, where the conflicting relationship between human beings and nature gives way to a new, dreamlike symbiosis, a harmonious dialogue between humans and other living species.
