About this artwork
Inside a glass bell, the woman's body is collected, protected, controlled.
The posture is composed, almost trained to take up little space. Around, the world remains outside,
observe, decide.
The bell may seem like a comfort zone: a place that promises safety, stability,
protection. But it is also an external construction, a perimeter often designed for the
women, not from them. A space that protects, yes, but in exchange requires immobility,… silence,
adaptation.
The woman is at the center of this ambiguity: staying means being safe, going out means
expose yourself.
The desire for freedom coexists with the fear of losing that protection which has always
it is offered as the only option.
The painting does not judge.
It asks the viewer to question how often women are taught to call
“comfort” what is actually a form of containment.
Comfort zone?
Or a gentle cage from which, sooner or later, we learn to escape.

Chiara Poli explores the theme of female emancipation. She depicts women in their nakedness, free from the appearances and roles imposed by contemporary society. She celebrates the intimacy of women free to express themselves and live their full potential. Her mother's figure has influenced her art since childhood. Daughter of an emancipated and nonconformist woman, she assimilated the concepts of freedom of expression through the original clothes her mother made and the feminist theses she proposed at every opportunity. Chiara's maturation is the fruit of a profound intertwining of life and thought: classical studies, a degree, a job and a family, the commitments of a wife and mother, and the obsession with her art. This synthesis is fully reflected in her poetics, which, especially after the untimely death of her mother, evolved into a precise mission to give voice to her nonconformist and feminist soul, forcefully applying it to contemporary society.
