Invisible Threads
我的创作源于对人及其周围一切的观察：人与人之间的关系、与自然的关系、与土地的关系，以及那些看不见但深深被感知的事物。自诞生以来，人类一直在寻求理解自己在世界中的位置，创造象征、信仰和仪式，作为联结、庇护与意义的方式。
在我的作品中，灵性并非以明确的宗教形态出现，而是一种共同的体验——超越文化与时间的内在冲动。它是一种归属感、对平衡的渴望、身体、环境与无形之间对话的需要。
通过几何抽象，我构建内在景观，在那里形式作为符号和象征性结构起作用。这些几何既指向人性，也指向自然；既指向人工又指向有机，在画面空间中产生张力与和谐。色彩作为生命能量，标注节奏、相遇与距离。

我的作品属于当代几何抽象的领域，在这里结构与直觉并存。通过圆、线、色面，我探寻在构图秩序与自发性之间摆动的视觉关系。
虽然我的实践汲取包豪斯的原则——形式的清晰、平衡与几何的运用——但其特色在于融入具有手势纹理的材料表面，激活负空间。这些表面以更自由的方式处理，产生控制与表现力之间的张力。
相对地，正空间通过被定义的几何形态来构建——圆、椭圆、三角形和色彩平面——以结构化的精准组织。这些形态作为视觉单元，在构图中产生节奏、层级与平衡。
纹理表面与锋利几何元素的共存，在手势与结构之间建立对话。色彩以饱和且对比鲜明的平面出现，作为组织元素，引导视线并强化作品的内在动力。

在我的各个系列中，我以抽象而综合的语言处理诸如人际关系、记忆、迁徙、灵性与社会议题等主题。这些参照并非直白呈现，而是通过形态之间的张力、平衡与联系融入构图结构。
因此我的作品提出一种当代几何语言，结合形式的严谨与表现的自由，既邀请对构图的分析性阅读，也提供直观的视觉体验。

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.

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.
