Italian-born and influenced by artistic luminaries such as Matisse, Cezanne, Monet, and Manet, Mauro Chiarla, a Post-Impressionist master, brings to life enchanting South African scenes through sweeping brushstrokes and a warm Mediterranean-infused colour palette. His adept use of colours in harmonious support and contrast captivates not only viewers but also fellow South African artists.

Mauro's authenticity shines through his humility despite his remarkable artistic talent. His works narrate tales and evoke emotions, unraveling dimensions previously unexplored during their creation.

Across various sizes, his subjects encompass South African landscapes, seascapes, township and market scenes, rural farming with his iconic Wood Carrier women, vineyards, and the boldly colourful Namaqualand spring flowers.

While Mauro Chiarla has passed, his aspiration to be a new South African Master endures, securing his place in the annals of collectable and treasured artworks that traverse emotions and landscapes.
