About me

A black starfish with white spots and five arms against a black background.

My name is Chiara and I’ve been painting for as long as I can remember. Not as a profession, but as a lifelong companion.

Painting was never about results for me. It was about curiosity: how a memory might look in color, how a feeling could become a shape, how the world could be translated onto a canvas in my own way. Some paintings turned out exactly as I hoped. Many didn’t. And that was always part of the process.

What mattered was the act itself. Painting became a space away from screens, expectations, and constant evaluation. A place where nothing had to perform, impress, or be shared. It helped me clear my head, slow down, and reconnect with something human and tangible.

This course isn’t about producing “finished” work or learning a single correct style. It’s about building a relationship with painting as a personal, creative practice. One that supports focus, curiosity, and self-trust.

Whether you’ve painted before or are just beginning, you don’t need permission or talent to start. You only need the willingness to show up and explore.
