ASSEMBLY
In de serie Assembly gebruik ik geometrische abstractie als taal om de menselijke ervaring in grote steden in kaart te brengen. Door composities die spelen met volumes, perspectieven en kleurvlakken, construeer ik visuele passages die moderne architectuur en het ritme van de stad oproepen. Toch zijn deze lijnen en vlakken geen lege structuren: ze vertegenwoordigen ruimtes van co-existentie, hoeken van toevallige ontmoetingen en de onzichtbare grenzen die ons in de stedelijke omgeving verenigen of isoleren. Door verschillende materialen te integreren en de grenzen tussen beeldende kunst en grafisch ontwerp te vervagen, wordt mijn werk een levende voorstelling. Het is een uitnodiging om te pauzeren en geometrie te bewoon, waardoor de koude monumentaliteit van de stad verandert in een warme kaart van collectieve identiteit, empathie en onze diepe menselijke behoefte aan verbinding.

Mijn werk valt binnen het domein van de hedendaagse geometrische abstractie, waar structuur en intuïtie samen bestaan. Door cirkels, lijnen en vlakken kleur verken ik visuele relaties die oscilleren tussen compositieve orde en de spontaniteit van gebaar.
While my practice engages with Bauhaus principles—formal clarity, balance, and the use of geometry—it is distinguished by the incorporation of gestural textures that activate negative space. These material surfaces, worked with greater freedom, generate a tension between control and expressiveness.
In contrast, positive space is constructed through defined geometric forms—circles, ovals, triangles, and chromatic planes—organized with structural precision. These forms function as visual units that generate rhythm, hierarchy, and balance within the composition.
The coexistence of textured surfaces and sharp geometric elements establishes a dialogue between gesture and structure. Color, applied in saturated and contrasting planes, acts as an organizing element that guides the eye and reinforces the internal dynamics of the work.
In my various series, I address themes such as human relationships, memory, migration, spirituality, and social issues, translated into an abstract and synthetic language. These references are not presented literally, but rather integrated into the compositional structure through tensions, balances, en connections between forms.
My work thus proposes a contemporary geometric language that combines formal rigor and expressive freedom, inviting both an analytical reading of the composition and a direct visual experience.

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.
