Stress (2021) Collages by Chiara Criniti

Chiara Criniti born in Tivoli (Rome) in 1971.

She graduated in Set Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Lecce. 

Chiara Criniti initially worked as a children illustrator, but gradually shifted her focus to editorial illustration, and since 2017, also to personal artistic work.

Psychology and  imperfection of human beings are the central themes of her artistic research. Her work focuses on the relationship between conceptual essence and symbol, and the result is a clear and synthetic narration.

The use of vibrant colors and bold contrasts, alongside the mélange of various media (acrylic, pastels, graphite, monotype, collage) enable the artist to create a complex world where reality coexists with metaphorical elements, the surreal and psychological; a world that can be interpreted in a variety of levels. The papers and supports used are often scraps, leftovers, old packaging. Chiara composes complex textures, stratified through an impulsive and necessary gesture that is accomplished in the use of collage. The imperfection of the sign underlines this urgency.
