Chiara Fiorini
Chiara Fiorini (born 1 February 1956) is a Swiss painter and object artist who lives in Zürich.
Early life
Born in Acquarossa, Chiara Fiorini grew up in the Italian part of Switzerland and attended primary and secondary school there. In 1978 she received a diploma from University of Fribourg. After that she studied art at the École d'art Martenot and graduated from it in 1981. Then she got a diploma from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-arts in 1983 in Paris.[1]
Life and Work
Chiara Fiorini has been living in Zurich since 1983 and her art encompasses paintings, collages and artistic installations. Her works of art, installations and objects have been shown in exhibitions throughout Europe.
Apart from Fiorini's paintings, in which she uses mixed techniques, her work often involves objects from daily life. This approach led, for example, to her using countless sugar-cubes in her sculpture Made in Sugar or hundres of needle-points in an object for an exhibition in Sarajevo. In Chiara Fiorini's art works many different objects are used, such as garden furniture covered in grass oder intricately decorated sculptures made of knitted plastic.
