Chiara Baccanelli was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on August 11, 1993. She currently lives between Buenos Aires, Punta del Este, Miami and Lago di Como.

​​

In 2013, after a brief introduction to Art History, she decided to direct her professional career towards the study of design. She studied Interior Design at the Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) in Milan. By deepening her knowledge in the field of design, architectural and spatial language, naturally, her artistic work developed and matured. In the design field she found the missing pieces to deepen her artistic search.

​​

In 2017, she completed a specialization at the same school, pursuing a Master’s in Visual Arts and Curatorial Studies. Once again, she found herself navigating the interesting dynamic between art and design (and vice versa).

During her studies she had the opportunity to work with great artists, collaborate with gallery owners and curators. She exhibited her work in galleries and participated in international fairs. She held various  individual international fairs. She held various individual and group shows in Italy, Argentina, Uruguay and the United States. Her work is part of private collections and museums.

In 2018 she was invited to participate in the artistic residency program of the Fondazione MACC Calasetta in Sardinia, Italy. Where she spent two months living on the island, establishing an intimate bond with the town, the people and their culture. This was a moment of total immersion in space and nature, which was reflected later in her artwork. Some of the works created during this period are part of the MACC Museum collection. 

She currently works worldwide in her different studios. Focusing her studies in the abstract field and the search between space and color. Experimenting and creating with painting, photography, ceramics and sculpture.
