Chacho's Towns & Houses
Started in 2023
After years of exploring and experimenting with geometric patterns and using them to 'fill in' areas of my early paintings, I found myself asking: what kind of universe could the Chachos live in? What could be the look or the best way to create their homes as they begin to build Cha'teau? That’s when the idea struck me to transform these bold, geometric patterns into their new towns and houses—because, why not? I’ve always loved playing with visual perspectives, and using these dynamic patterns as backgrounds felt like the perfect way to bring their world to life. This series marks the birth of the concept of Chacho's homes—vibrant, geometric spaces that reflect the playful and inventive spirit of Cha'teau.
Constructed Nature
Started in 2022
In the Constructed Nature series, I wanted to push my artistic boundaries by experimenting with patterns and incorporating the Chacho silhouette shape, while also blending in natural elements like flowers and bubbles. Limiting myself to just three pastel colors: lavender, light coral, and sky blue—added another layer of challenge and exploration. This experiment was a significant step out of my comfort zone, encouraging me to reimagine the elements I had been using in new and unexpected ways. It was during this process that I unconsciously formed the idea of using geometric shapes and patterns as backgrounds, beginning to shape a whole new universe for the Chachos to inhabit.
Original Chacho Paintings

Chacho is at the essence of my art—Chacho is me, and Chacho is everything to me. More than just a character, Chacho represents peace of mind, curiosity, and the experience of being an outsider, always adapting to new environments. Chacho is my best friend, and can be yours too! Chacho’s form has evolved over time. It first appeared as a forward-facing figure, with exaggerated features—big eyes, big lips, big nose, and big ears—often adorned with fun and geometric patterns in their clothing and hats. As I continued to explore Chacho’s appearance, I began to imagine what they would look like from the side. This led to the creation of the elongated Chacho shape that most of you recognize today. Eventually, I developed a 2/3 point of view—a near-perfect blend between the front and side perspectives. The exaggerated features represent our senses and how Chacho uses all of them to their maximums and the elongated necks, skulls and chins represent the reach for higher spirits and connections within ourselves and everything around us.
