Still life by Master Antonio De Chiara -1968 (Florence - Amalfi Coast)
The art historian Professor Tomaso Montanari writes about him:
"Antonio De Chiara's work treads the paths of the Italian tradition, through the choice of formats, cuts, preparations, chromatic scale, pictorial conduct capable of evoking old masters dear to all of us. At the same time, however, in his half figures, in his portraits, in his still lifes, in his boys a fire smolders, a nervous and feverish dimension, which roots them in our time, with its doubts and anxieties.The result is like an evocation of presences that are both familiar and aliens, in a happily alienating short circuit."
Antonio De Chiara was born in Salerno and graduated in Architecture in Naples at the Federico II University. He lives between Florence and the Amalfi Coast. He teaches Art and Image in the lower secondary school in Florence.
He deepened the pictorial experiences of Italian and Flemish naturalism of the seventeenth century, always finding in them a source of inspiration.
He has collaborated with various national and international galleries, exhibiting in Italian and foreign cities (Rome, Ferrara, Milan, Florence, London), as well as participating and winning numerous painting competitions in Italy and Europe.
His works are exhibited in private and public collections.
He was selected by the critic Vittorio Sgarbi to participate in EXPOARTEITALIANA, moreover, in 2015 he was selected for FIGURATIVAS 2015, an important international figurative painting competition in Barcelona, an event chaired by Antonio Lopez Garcia and Odd Nerdrum.
Esteemed by Professor and art critic Tomaso Montanari to whom he painted his portrait in 2020.
