Instagram: @sandrachinelate Delicacy stems from the meeting of simplicity and precision. A jar filled with colorful candies becomes the subject of an essential composition, where light enhances the transparency of the glass and the variety of colors. A daily image observed with a new gaze, capable of turning the ordinary into something precious. Sandra Chinelate, Italian-Brazilian, works on physical and existential inquiry conducted with the tools of figurative painting. Trained in literature, and as a child a self-taught artist, she moved to Italy and, influenced by her multiple sociolinguistic view, conducts her painting research with the aim of promoting an encounter between different social subjects, where different ages, skin colors, passions and human doubts are contemplated from a strong desire on the part of the artist to exalt their facets, safeguarding her characters from any pre-judgment. She dedicates herself with equal fervor to the search for detail, light, and perspective in her beloved hyperrealism technique, in which she has specialized since her earliest artistic experiments. Since 2005 she has exhibited in numerous solo and group exhibitions. She works with oil and mixed media on canvas and board. For the catalog of one of her most important solo shows, she relied on the Roman art critic Lea Mattarella, and at the end of the review she wrote: "and if there is pain, if there is fatigue, Chinelate makes the words of Rumi, the medieval Sufi poet, her own, convinced that 'the wound is the point from which light can enter into you'". This is the law Sandra Chinelate applies to the human soul she depicts just as to objects, all in equal balance of importance and order. Her work can be found on Instagram: @sandrachinelate
