Chiara Roversi

Self-taught photographer. Her gaze is born from the body, from silence, from nature. Her artistic journey began with intimate portraits of her daughter, which soon became a language, a necessity, a way to explore femininity in its most authentic and profound form. Chiara photographs women with extraordinary sensitivity, capturing the visceral connection between the female body and the landscape. Her subjects merge with water, rocks, vegetation. It’s not about placing a figure in nature, but about visually returning to the origin — a silent dialogue between flesh and landscape, between human presence and primordial force. Her style focuses on environmental female portraiture. Every image is born from a real encounter, from shared time, from deep listening.

Nature — water as womb, earth as shelter — is not a backdrop but a voice, a silent accomplice to gesture and gaze. Her prints, made on fine art resin-coated paper, give physical presence to the image: the materiality of photography becomes an essential part of her visual language. Her work is a poetic inquiry into femininity, into the strength and vulnerability of the female body, into the longing for belonging and the lost harmony between humans and nature. It is an invitation to slow down, to feel, to look with respect. “There’s a moment, just before I take the shot, when everything aligns: the wind, a gaze, the water seeking the rock. That’s where my photography is born — on the threshold, where woman and nature recognize each other, speak to each other, belong to each other.” Her main exhibitions include Imagenation Milano, Imagenation Paris, and Imagenation London, in galleries located in the heart of the cities. Since 2019, she has directed the female collective Luce 77, which creates artistic projects dedicated to women, promoting a photography that is conscious, intimate, and shared. With the collective, she has taken part in numerous open calls, including the Biennale of Female Photography in Mantua and Fotografia Europea in Reggio Emilia, bringing their work into independent spaces, cultural venues, and local art events.
