Chiara Napolitano is a lively and brilliant artist who works in the Modena area, in Carpi, where she was born and works. After completing the academic course, she creates works in Pop Art style which she offers in art markets in and outside the region. Her artistic investigation evolves to define a very personal and authentic style. All of her artistic production is characterized by a veil of gloomy melancholy, declined in the tears, in the drippings of color and in the chromatic choices, and a manifestation of the perennial dissatisfaction of the artist who increasingly deepens her research, with a predilection for the female figure of the 20s and 30s.
The artist draws on these women of the past as they best express the poetry and delicacy of femininity, recovering a modest taste and balance. The recurring theme of her works is the woman which is reflected in a mirror or in a shadow, but which often does not find its mirrored image on the other side, but colored fantasies, to evoke an inner search that shows aspects of us that sometimes we do not recognize and find it difficult to accept.
The artistic language also pays close attention to the textile motifs of the remnants of past fashion (sometimes accompanied by their numerical identification code) which we find in the decorative papers applied to the table. The board, which is in fact the preferred support, is covered with a collage of newspaper glued randomly with white water-based paint. The base therefore acquires wrinkles and imperfections that give a sense of life and ruin. At this point, the artist proceeds to the pencil drawing and then to the application of the aforementioned vintage decorative papers that cover the background or the figures, based on the idea and feeling experienced instantly.
Finally, the artist intervenes with acrylic, focusing essentially on the colors of black and white, once again to suggest distant memories and atmospheres.
