Chiara Fiorini

Chiara Fiorini (born February 1, 1956 in Acquarossa , Ticino ) is a Swiss painter and object artist .

Life

Chiara Fiorini grew up in Italian-speaking Switzerland and then studied art at the École d'art Martenot (Diploma 1981) and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts (Diploma 1983).

She has lived in Zurich since 1983 and works with painting, collages and artistic facilities. Her works of art, as well as her outdoor and indoor installations, have been shown in numerous solo and group exhibitions throughout Europe. She has been teaching art at the Rietberg Montessori School in Zurich since 2009.

In addition to Fiorini's paintings with acrylic and mixed media, her works often revolve around objects from everyday life that are newly used in her facilities. For example, for her work of art Made in Sugar for the Sarajevo exhibition, numerous sugar cubes were used for a sculpture or hundreds of needle heads in an object. In Chiara Fiorini's works, different objects appear again and again, such as garden furniture made of grass, or sculptures made of crocheted plastic that are decorated in detail.
