Mary Chiaramonte

Mary Chiaramonte, born in 1979 in West Virginia, occupies a realm between darkness and light in her dreamlike narratives, inviting viewers into a mysterious world. Bridging figurative expression with realism and narrative, Chiaramonte crafts images reminiscent of fairytales, drawing inspiration from human stories. Her dark palette conveys a sense of mystery and secrecy, unraveling feelings of isolation and concealed longings.

Growing up in an isolated area of West Virginia without modern distractions, Chiaramonte developed her artistic sensibilities by immersing herself in nature. Today, she continues this practice, deriving momentum from her surroundings. Her figurative realism, oscillating between darkness and light, narrates provocative daydreams, delving into the complexities of the human experience and its inherent mysteries. Her work has been featured in esteemed publications, including the New York Times. 

Represented by prestigious galleries like Abend Gallery in Denver, RJD Gallery in New York, and Lovetts Gallery in Tulsa, Chiaramonte has showcased her works in numerous solo and group exhibitions across America. Her paintings grace collections in both America and Europe and have garnered attention in publications such as American Art Collector, New American Paintings, American Artist Magazine, Empty Magazine, and Visionary Artistry Magazine.
