Itziar Ramos

The final act. Acrylic on canvas. 2025. 180 cm x 150 cm.
Serie: Circus of Feelings explores the inner spectacle of human emotions. Each painting becomes a stage where bodies perform their passions, fears, and desires under the bright light of illusion. Through vibrant colors, geometric tensions, and symbols borrowed from the world of the circus —makeup, masks, exaggerated gestures— the series unveils the irony of human nature: we laugh while bleeding, love while pretending, shine while falling. It is a poetic and ironic vision of existence, where beauty and absurdity coexist in fragile balance. The viewer is invited to witness an emotional theater —a tragicomedy of the soul.

I paint bodies that dream, touch, and merge in dreamlike and carnal scenes, where the human and the animal coexist in symbolic, sensual, and chaotic landscapes. My practice focuses on large-scale figurative painting, primarily in acrylic on canvas, using a vibrant and saturated palette inspired by German Expressionism, Latin American muralism, Goya  and Gauguin. Technically, I emphasize the expressive use of flat color, strong contours, and the balance between chaos and visual harmony. I work with free gestures and visual memory, painting without preliminary sketches, composing as I go, allowing forms to build, overlap, and contradict each other.
My works unfold as open narratives: fragmented stories that intertwine personal experiences, cultural references, and mythological or fetishistic elements. The figures I paint—often grotesque, exaggerated, or caricature-like—challenge traditional standards of beauty and anatomy, generating tensions between the sacred and the profane, the sensual and the violent, the tragic and the absurd. I paint as someone who simultaneously remembers and forgets.
Each image is a metaphor for the human condition, a visual diary where eroticism, tenderness, death, sacred art, and surrealism converge. My paintings don't seek to provide answers; they pose questions, provoke contradictions, and confront the viewer with their own gaze. Color, the body, and emotion are the primary vehicles of this experience. I paint to narrate, but also to allow the viewer to complete the story from their own perception.
Signed by MCH, this painting celebrates the plural, the imperfect, and the uncomfortable with a force that refers to both eroticism and the collective unconscious.

Biography:
Miriam CHiera is an Italian-Argentine contemporary artist based in Senigallia, Italy. She studied Interior Design at the Faculty of Architecture of the Universidad Nacional del Litoral, Argentina, and also studied art at the Verona Academy of Art, Italy.
She was born in a small town in Argentina, surrounded by vast expanses of countryside, to a family of Italian immigrant farmers. Although her roots are steeped in Italian culture, her art carries the spirit of the land where she grew up. Small marks and symbols are scattered across her canvases, interweaving cubism, constructivism and abstract geometry with the essence of her work: the language of color.
Surrounded by the immensity of nature, with infinite horizons and a deep sense of freedom, she found inspiration in large-scale creations. Although she studied Interior Design at the Universidad Nacional del Litoral, her path to painting began in her early years, it was during her residency in the city of Romeo and Juliet, where she studied at the Accademia di Arte in Verona, when she realized that painting was her true calling.
Miriam CHiera's works have been selected to be exhibited in international competitions, galleries, museums and events.
2017 – Selected for the Biennial of Fine Arts, Friends of Art, Ceres, Argentina.
2019 – XII Salvador Massa Regional Painting Salon, Argentina.
2019 – Finalist in the 3rd Painting Contest, 56th Anniversary Fundación 25 de Junio, Rosario, Argentina.
2019 – Selected for the 66th National Annual Exhibition of Arts, Ceres, Argentina.
2019 – Finalist at the XXIII Spring Hall, Museum of Visual Arts, Santa Fe, Argentina.
2019 – Finalist at the Regional Annual Exhibition of Artists, Museum H. Borla, Esperanza, Argentina.
2020 – Finalist at the XXIV Spring Hall, Municipal Museum of Visual Arts, Argentina.
2021 – Finalist at the XXVI Spring Hall, Santa Fe, Argentina.
2023 – Participant in the Chorlton Arts Festival, Manchester, United Kingdom.
Her works are part of private collections around the world.

Today she lives in Senigallia, Italy, after traveling through many cities: Milan, Verona, Ancona, Barcelona, ​​​Manchester, Buenos Aires, Rosario and her hometown, Ceres. Each place has left its mark on her art, shaping the vision and expression that flows through her work.

Artist Statement:
A work of art is far more than a fashionable object, a fleeting trend, or a decorative element designed to solve a spatial issue. I create paintings with the hope that they become a window through which you can tell yourself a story-where the art interacts with your life in a meaningful way.
Each piece carries its own imprint, a soul, an energy that transforms it into a living presence within your space. My aspiration is for my art to move you, to evoke a desire to possess it, to immerse yourself in its essence, and to enjoy its company each morning as you stand before it.
