Biography
Chiara Coccorese, born in Naples (Italy) in 1982, has graduated at the Academy of Fine Arts in her home town. Her art research focuses on painting: at the beginning she experimented, in addition to the traditional oil colours, the effects of various materials such as beeswax, paper, plasticine. She studied at Andrea Scala's "Scuola di fotografia" in Naples and gradually photography took the place of painting: in her current pictures the materials research turns into the creation of small scenes that illustrate landscapes or fragments from invented fantastic tales; scenographies in miniature with a painted sky and small plasticine characters, or real people into imagined worlds.
