The work explores the tension between referent and simulacrum, linking two subjects who share the same visual matrix yet belong to different regimes of reality. The proximity between the organic and the artificial suspends any hierarchy between original and copy, transforming the image into a space of perceptual negotiation. In this encounter, likeness does not confirm identity but reveals its ambiguity, opening a reflection on how culture constructs, reproduces and recognizes the real.
Sandra Chinelate, Brazilian, works on the physical and existential inquiry conducted with the tools of figurative painting. With a degree in literature, and as a child a self-taught artist, she moved to Italy and, influenced by her multiple sociolinguistic gaze, conducts her painting research with the aim of promoting an encounter between different social subjects, where different ages, skin colors, passions and human ambiguities are contemplated starting from a strong desire of the artist to exalt their facets, safeguarding her characters from any prejudice. She dedicates herself with equal fervor to the pursuit of detail, light, and perspective in her beloved hyperrealist technique, in which she has specialized since her early artistic experiments. Since 2005 she has exhibited in numerous solo and collective exhibitions. She works with oil and mixed media on canvas and panel.
For the catalog of one of her most important solo shows, she had Rome art critic Lea Mattarella review it, and at the end of the review she wrote: "and if there is pain, if there is fatigue, Chinelate makes Rumi’s words her own, the medieval Sufi poet, convinced that 'the wound is the place from which light can enter into you'."
This is the principle Sandra Chinelate applies to the human soul she depicts as well as to objects, all in equal balance of importance and order.
