Biography
Aisen Chacin

The artist's early focus on painting has evolved into multimedia conceptual art, including sculptural installations and digital images and recycled objects, and is grounded in her concern for social paradigms and cultural issues being empathetic towards vulnerable aspects of humanity addressing social and cultural issues, and her empathy towards vulnerable aspects of humanity aims to elicit compassion and promote inner-self dialogues.

Her work reflects love, compassion, empathy, humility, fluidity, strength, power, change, energy, and intensity in a creative and innovative composition, celebrating the path of human beings throughout life.
