Carla was born in Turin in 1964. She left her home-town at the early age of 6 months, to eventually return as a young adult and for a relatively short period of time. Moving continuously was thrilling, but she needed something that would make her feel at home, a “fil rouge” that would accompany her through these new adventures, something only her own.

Her family was very important but not enough to make her feel completely settled. The art of painting and humoristic drawing became “my very best invisible friends”, they would sit by her at all times, comfort her when most needed, help her to understand what she was experiencing. And the most important thing… “they were just mine!”

She paints what she wants when she wants… but every day! Regardless of everything and everyone. Taking inspiration anywhere. She paints her emotions, her feelings, the beauty or the unexpected around her. Random search for passion. She went from faceless people in her early teens to painting gigantic close up of wild animals, to Abstract in an abstract part of her life and then back to reality to been a polaroid of the unexpected around her. One rule OIL Paint. She can humoristically fix that moment so that you will never forget it.

Carla Chiusano’s art is a photograph of life made with the skilful use of the brush. In her works, the desire to urgently communicate some important messages, positive and negative, which are continuously transmitted by the environment that surrounds her, shines clearly. Carla was lucky enough to live in different parts of the world, from London to Rio de Janeiro, from Rome to Geneva: this internationality of her made her an all-round artist, with a broad and profound vision of things.

Her works, never banal, are often also the mirror of herself, of her reflective and cheerful character, sweet, hard and uncompromising at the same time. Her ability lies not only in a high pictorial quality, but also in the ability to identify with her paintings with extreme delicacy. She is a curious woman, a lover of life and nature, with a remarkable sense of humour and a spirit of observation, who lives in a world that is not only hers, but ours as well.
