Chati Coronel reveals a whimsical and magical world, which she explains as a world that “usually doesn’t get celebrated in art.” Coronel uses the woman as her focal point, revealing the duality of their strength and softness with bulbous, organic shapes - as a parachute, a cape, a headdress - and vibrant colours. Allowing life to explode on the canvas, Coronel paints these images to activate the sense that “infinite possibilities exist inside all of us”.

Indeed Gadia makes art fun as she “cracks the images to open the possibilities of new meaning”.
