The composition celebrates matter and taste through a constant play of chromatic and tactile contrasts: the roughness of walnut kernels contrasts with the soft, juicy pulp of fresh figs, while a enveloping light slides across the surfaces, highlighting their texture and revealing their pure everyday poetry. An elegant reinterpretation of the figurative genre that converts simple elements into a visual symphony of rare refinement.
Sandra Chinelate, Brazilian, works on the physical and existential inquiry conducted with the tools of figurative painting. A graduate in literature, and in her youth 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 among different social subjects, where different ages, skin colors, passions and human doubts are contemplated from a strong desire on the part of the artist to exalt their facets, safeguarding her characters from any pre-judgment. She dedicates herself with equal fervor to the search for detail, light, and perspective in her beloved technique of hyperrealism, in which she has specialized since her earliest artistic experiments. Since 2005 she has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions. She works with oil and mixed media on canvas and panel.
For the catalog of one of her most important solo shows, she was reviewed by Roman art critic Lea Mattarella, who at the end of the review wrote: "and if there is pain, if there is effort, Chinelate makes the words of Rumi, the medieval Sufi poet, her own, convinced that 'the wound is the point from which light can enter you'." This principle Sandra Chinelate applies to the human soul she depicts just as to objects, all in equal balance of importance and order.

Seller's Story
Sandra Chinelate is an Italian-Brazilian artist with a degree in Literature who lives and works in Italy. Since 2005 she has embarked on an intense and constant dialogue with art, developing a painting practice deeply rooted in the physical and existential investigation of the human being through the tools of figurative painting.
Self-taught artist since childhood, Sandra Chinelate brings to her creative practice a sensitivity nurtured also by humanistic training and her sociolinguistic gaze. Having moved to Italy, she has oriented her research toward the representation of humanity in its multiple expressions, promoting an ideal meeting between individuals and different realities. In her works, age, skin colors, passions, fragility, and questions of existence coexist, observed with respect and returned without prejudice.
Her painting is born from the desire to exalt the infinite facets of the human being, giving dignity and depth to every subject depicted. With equal dedication she focuses on the study of detail, light, and perspective—elements that characterize her personal interpretation of hyperrealism, an expressive language in which she has specialized since her first artistic experiments.
Since 2005 she has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, working mainly with oil and mixed media on canvas and panel.
For the catalog of one of her most important solo exhibitions, the Roman art critic Lea Mattarella dedicated a meaningful review to the artist, concluding with these words: “And if there is pain, if there is effort, Chinelate takes to heart the words of Rumi, the medieval Sufi poet, convinced that ‘the wound is the point from which light can enter inside you.’”
This vision seems to thread through Sandra Chinelate’s entire poetics: the light that emerges from vulnerability becomes the principle through which the artist interprets the human soul and the world of objects. In her works, people and things share the same balance of importance and order, taking part in a visual narrative that celebrates the complexity of existence and the possibility of transforming every experience into awareness and beauty.
