ArtworksThis section presents the works of Chiara De Zan, the result of visual research that intertwines matter, language and critical thinking. Her mixed media compositions — between collage, painting, digital and photography — investigate themes such as disintegration, identity, the body, the environment and collective memory.Through the use of recovered materials, paper fragments, worn fabrics, pigments and digital textures, the artist constructs layered narratives that restore dignity to the ephemeral. Each work is a field of tension between presence and absence, between manual gesture and virtual trace.Chiara De Zan's art does not propose solutions, but opens up passages. It invites us to stop, observe, reflect. It is an act of care and listening towards what is fragile, forgotten, non-compliant.
