Chiara Capobianco was born in Rome in 1992. Her keen interest in drawing showed early on, but as a child she focused mainly on ballet, entering the Rome Ballet Academy as a dancer.
She studied at Caravillani Art School and graduated with a major in Architecture and approached the world of graphic design manifesting talent in editorial graphics and packaging design.
She pursued her studies at the European Institute of Design (IED) studying Graphic Design and Motion Graphic. Chiara moved in London to work in fashion editorials and she began producing small series of abstract geometric illustrations that allude to human figures.
After starting his own graphic design studio, he moved to Berlin to focus only on his illustrative stylistics by participating in the BAI artist residency. She was born a leader by processing large drawings and thus began exhibiting at small collectives. She is noticed through IG by Art Director and international DJ Giancarlo Battafarano, who will propose her to set up the entirety of the most important techno club in Rome: the Goa Club.More than 700 square meters of the room are painted by hand with the sole use of markers and acrylics, elaborated 5 zones for the reproduction of video-mapping with the artist's animations and capo.bianco takes over the editorial and web graphic direction for the entire year 2018-19.
After a year and a half of exclusivity for the venue, Covid stops everything and it will be only in 2021 that Chiara will be noticed again by winning a competition for emerging artists at “Super Walls ”, the most internationally known street art biennial in Italy.
She will later set up her own graphic design studio but the desire to search for her own style is stifling.
