Miriam Chiera (1969) - Map. XXL

Series: Cities
In my abstract-geometric work, I strive to bridge the gap between thought and intuition. Inspired by the human relationships and cultural diversity I observe in cities around the world, my paintings weave layers of color, lines, and strokes into networks of unity and difference.
I draw inspiration from the harmony and contrasts of human relationships: from the coexistence of cultures, beliefs, and ways of being, to the invisible balance that binds communities together. My compositions harmonize structure and gesture, tension and harmony. Geometric forms meet fluid strokes, creating a visual rhythm that feels both precise and vibrant.
Abstraction becomes a reflection of society itself: a space where diversity and equality can coexist, where each fragment connects to form a whole. In my work, geometry is humanized, and color evokes inclusion, balance and belonging.

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’s works have been selected to be exhibited in international competitions, galleries, museums and events.

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.
