"VEILS"
Seeing the world through veils: creations that, through a strong and personal reinterpretation, pay a tribute to the mystery of women in mantillas, weeping black widows, fluo pierrots and circus artists, veiled warriors, winged cocoons, sacred crucifixions and multicolour hawkers..through to a final collapse of worlds and emotions, enhanced by the dramatic photographic style, the nostalgic make up and the enigmatic allure of the model.

Photoshooting of "VEILS" by Simona Santelli, shot in Rome in March 2012.

Chiara Cola is an Italian digital artist working with print, video and textile design.
Chiara Cola has studied at the Liceo Classico (high school focused on the humanities), followed by a degree in Communication Studies (old curricula) from the University La Sapienza in Rome, where she graduated with a dissertation in fashion and design, entitled "New perspectives between neoarcaism and hyper-futurism: the Cases of Antonio Marras and ExTe ".

"Four years ago I became aware of the great potential of digital technology and was completely in love. I then started my own personal journey as a self-taught, who gave me a much greater degree of freedom to express my creativity. I'm still amazed at the endless possibilities of digital technology."
