Sandro Chia's art is a vibrant, theatrical explosion of Neo-Expressionism. Imagine a child joyfully rediscovering classical mythology with crayons, a child named Chia. His paintings are filled with bold, almost garish colors, distorted figures, and a playful, energetic sense of narrative. Think heroic nudes, mythological allusions, and a general air of joyful chaos.
Key Characteristics & Themes:
- Neo-Expressionism: Bold, emotionally charged, and figurative.

- Bright, Intense Colors: Used to create drama and emotional impact.
