Jamie Chiarello, born in 1985, finds solace in painting as a means of coping with the discomfort of existence. Fascinated by people, yet struggling to understand them, Jamie feels a deep connection to the subjects of their artwork. In a world consumed by materialism and self-branding, Jamie sees humanity as complex, ever-changing beings, more akin to verbs than static nouns.
Despite lacking traditional formal training, Jamie considers themselves self-taught but classically-inspired, drawing meaning and inspiration from classical western painting approaches. For years, Jamie has exhibited their work in the vibrant streets of the French Quarter, from Pirates Alley to Jackson Square. This dedication to their craft is driven by a passion that will likely endure for years to come, even into old age.
For Jamie, painting offers a rare moment of stillness and reflection in an otherwise chaotic world. Through their art, Jamie captures the ephemeral nature of human existence, inviting viewers to ponder the complexities of life and identity.
