Sandro Chia (1946) - Maternità

“Maternità” – Sandro Chia – Original signed and numbered lithograph (95/110)

Important color lithograph titled “Maternità,” created by Sandro Chia, among the leading exponents of Italian Transavanguardia. The work addresses the universal theme of motherhood with a powerful and contemporary language, combining symbolic elements, stylized figures and a visually rich narrative.
The brass plate on the back testifies to its belonging to an important Italian private collection.

Stile e Tecnica: The artist uses a bold figurative language and neo-expressionist style, with dynamic brushstrokes and vibrant colors.

Soggetto: The work features monumental figures typical of Chia, almost suspended between sky and earth. The central figure envelops protectively two smaller figures (the children), evoking a sense of warmth and primordial bond.

Contorno: A thick, fluid green line surrounds the family nucleus, isolating it from the deep blue background.
Sfondo: Symbolic elements such as a yellow sun in the upper left and dark abstract shapes balance the scene.
Corpi: The bodies are built with intense color mixes (blue, red, orange), which confer strong emotional intensity and a certain theatricality.

Significato artistico
Chia’s works often reflect an idea of universal and inclusive beauty, where the figures represent heroic yet gentle humanity. In this specific work, the theme of motherhood is reinterpreted through references to classical and Renaissance tradition, yet filtered by a contemporary and ironic sensibility.
