Chiara Capobianco / Capo.Bianco
About
Rome-based artist working across drawing, illustration, public art and site-specific installation.
Practice
Architecture is never empty. It holds bodies, habits, conflict and imagination.
Chiara Capobianco was born in Rome in 1992. After studying architecture at art school, she trained in Graphic Design and Motion Graphics at IED. Work in editorial design and a residency at Berlin Art Institute helped shape a visual language built from precise lines, broken perspective and inhabited structures.
As Capo.Bianco, she moves between the concentration of ink on paper and the civic scale of murals. Figures remain central: people waiting, working, meeting, resisting and learning how to share a space.
Her projects have entered clubs, schools, company buildings and museums. In 2024 she took part in the Quirinale’s Donne dell’arte programme; in 2025 Trip 2075 was created for MUDEC Invasion; in 2026 Architettura di una metamorfosi occupied La Pelanda at Mattatoio Roma as a seven-part passage through transformation.
