Art Atelier di Mariano Chelo is a contemporary art gallery on Via Giuseppe Garibaldi in central Cagliari, run by the Italian artist Mariano Chelo. The space functions as both a gallery and a working studio, displaying original paintings across a number of distinct series — among them Alveari, Cariatidi, Crolli, and Tasselli Mediterranei — as well as works exploring themes ranging from quantum physics to Mediterranean landscapes.

Beyond the permanent collection, the gallery is associated with MAP (Museo d'Arte Pubblica), which hosts temporary group exhibitions with an engaged, socially aware character. The atelier sits on one of Cagliari's main commercial streets, making it an accessible stop for anyone passing through the city centre.

What reviewers say

Visitors consistently praise the quality and depth of Mariano Chelo's paintings, noting the meticulous use of materials and colour. The gallery itself is described as elegant and calm, with an atmosphere reminiscent of a traditional artist's studio. Many appreciate the opportunity to speak directly with the artist, and several reviewers highlight the thought-provoking nature of the collective exhibitions held at the associated MAP space.
