Miriam Chiera (1969) - Shared. XXL

My work is rooted in geometric abstraction as a way of thinking about human relationships and social realities. Through structured forms—circles, triangles, rhombuses, squares—and fields of color, I explore the bonds, tensions, and points of encounter that emerge between individuals and communities in contemporary society.
Each shape carries its own symbolic meaning: circles represent individuals, rhombuses represent social structures, broken or incomplete forms suggest displacement and marginalization, and triangles evoke energy, conflict, and transformation. These visual elements interact within shared spaces, reflecting coexistence, power dynamics, and inequalities, while maintaining their own identity.
My work also addresses human displacement and migratory movements shaped by conflict, economic instability, lack of opportunities, and unequal living conditions. These processes are translated into fragmentation, transition, overlap, and spatial reconfiguration, functioning as metaphors for adaptation, resilience, and reconstruction.
By using geometry as a universal visual language, I avoid literal representation, instead constructing compositions where balance, repetition, contrast, and tension communicate complex social realities. I do not seek closed narratives, but open spaces for interpretation, where difference does not divide, but builds.
Through these abstract structures, my work invites viewers to reflect not only on coexistence and identity, but also on the political, social, and human forces that shape our world.

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.

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.
