Thalía Gochez

Thalía Gochez is a self taught visual artist living in Los Ángeles,California. As a child of Mexican and Salvadoran immigrant parents, Gochez draws most of her creative inspiration from her upbringing and heritage. Her work aims to highlight identity by honoring and prioritizing the subject’s story through an intentional yet stylized approach. Her photographs are genuine depictions of people of color with an emphasis on women taken in environments that mirror their identity offering space for conversation connection and community building. In a society dominated by Anglo-Saxon beauty standards and cultural appropriation, she uses her photography and creative fashion sense to curate powerful images of women across the United States. She tends to spotlight on the simple beauty of Latine cultures, capturing the subjects around the ‘sacred spaces’ of their homes and communities. Thalia’s work always feels within reach and tends to evoke a sense of nostalgia but with a contemporary twist, there’s heaps of story and style in each photograph which makes up such a unique recipe that’s so distinctively her.
