FIND YOUR SELF AGAIN (2024) Painting by Chiara Napolitano

Becoming a parent often means making sacrifices and changing your priorities. Although I have changed in many ways compared to before becoming a mother, in other ways I am still the same person with the same interests and passions.

Becoming a parent often means making sacrifices and changing your priorities. Although I have changed in many ways compared to before becoming a mother, in other ways I am still the same person with the same interests and passions.
The subject of "RITROVARSI" is a woman who, at times, needs to find herself, who wants to disconnect from the daily routine to take refuge in her world, a corner, an intimate place where you learn to dialogue with yourself .
The work is made with a mixed technique, paper and acrylic on wood. I created a basic collage on the support, created by overlapping newspaper pages glued with white water-based paint. Subsequently I painted the subject with acrylics, finally I used a protective glossy transparent varnish.

Chiara Napolitano is a contemporary Italian painter. After finishing her studies she began her artistic investigation which evolved to define a very personal and authentic style. All her paintings are romantically nostalgic, associating current techniques with subjects from a distant time. The recurring theme of her works is the woman who is reflected in a mirror or in a shadow, but who often on the other side does not find her mirror image, but colored fantasies, to evoke an inner research that shows aspects of us that sometimes we don't recognize and struggle to accept. 

Whether they are posed portraits or scenes captured in an intimate moment, these works express her inner world and her relationship with art. A relationship that is never completely satisfied and fulfilling, which will give space to a tireless pictorial evolution, giving us works of great emotional and visual impact.

Chiara Napolitano was born in 1986, in Italy, where she graduated from the Venturi Art Institute in Modena.
