Profile
Chiara Criniti is an Italian artist and illustrator. Her works depict a world in which reality is represented through metaphorical and psychological images that are full of pathos and poetry. She started creating illustrations for children but over the years her focus has shifted to issues related to the psyche, to the deeper meanings hidden in language and to the more daring connections between words and images. She’s interested in feelings, emotions and troubles of the soul. She works with mixed media on canvas and paper (monotype, collage, graphite, acrylic, pastels, grattage). The use of vibrant colours and bold contrasts, alongside the mélange of various materials and media, enable her to create a complex world where reality coexists with metaphorical elements, the surreal and psychological; a world that can be interpreted on a variety of levels.
