Real life is having to wait

Thalía Gochez, a self-taught visual artist based in Los Angeles, California, draws inspiration from her upbringing and heritage as a child of Mexican and Salvadoran immigrant parents. Her work centers around the exploration of identity, emphasizing and prioritizing the stories of her subjects through an intentional and stylized approach. Gochez's process is characterized by the trust with her subjects, creating a joyous and empowering experience fueled by love, respect, and safety.

“Even though we live in an extremely fast paced city, slowing down and valuing what matters the most in life is super sacred."
