Chochu is a passionate photographer and artist whose work embodies a rich diversity of styles. She values variety and distance in her projects, approaching her craft with curiosity, intuition, and playfulness. This freedom allows her to explore without being confined to rigid classifications or patterns. Her subjects range widely, encompassing reportage, still life, and portraiture. Chochu often revisits specific techniques, such as double exposures and distortions, and explores recurring themes like food. She stages and visualizes imagined images, delving into the impact of visuals on perception. By blending empirical observations with contemporary ideas, Chochu has developed a unique artistic style. Each piece of her work stands alone, distinct and rooted in her experiences and practice, reflecting her journey as an artist.
