Chiara Stefani

Chiara Stefani is a contemporary Italian artist based between Paris and northern Italy, who combines traditional techniques such as oil on canvas and graphite on paper but with a contemporary perspective. Her work is structured on the representation of feminine. The main concept is to focus on those qualities like gentleness and vulnerability that are not synonymous with weakness. Our society always rewards men’s approaches valuing individualism, aggressiveness and analytical thinking as good attributes to achieve success. It is time to reverse the trend, to empower the feminine side that is inside each of us, to generate a more creative, nurturing and loving world.” In her paintings, she tries to recreate this feeling of empowerment and brotherhood, to capture the innate the strength and complexity of women and envision the nature of connection. Throughout the representation of ordinary people, she wants to explore the kaleidoscope of emotion that can be found in the human face.

In his works, women are very charismatic, often depicted looking forward without a smile and introspective expressions. She certainly also finds inspiration in her various travels around the world, notably in Southeast Asia, where she lived for a few years, and the Middle East. She spends countless hours working on her paintings trying to represent that specific feeling taken from that defined moment in order to connect deeply and more intimately with the viewer.

She studied fine arts and she graduated in art Cultural heritage conservation in Venice, and this paved the way for her career in the field of art, allowing him to experiment with different techniques and study materials used by artists centuries ago until the last techniques.

Her figurative and hyper-realistic style allows her to express in the highest form the concept she wants to represent on canvas.
