Claudia Chanhoi
Illustration Artist
It all began during Claudia's final art project at the London College of Communication, where she delved into the issue of "sexual objectification of women," a topic close to her heart as she navigated her womanhood.
Her initial series, "Scenery," emerged in 2016, with "Birds Flying To The Moon" marking its inception. However, when she posted the imagery on Instagram, it was promptly censored and removed for violating community guidelines—deemed too sexually explicit and harmful. Undeterred, Claudia reposted the image with two birds added, now titled “Birds Flying To The Moon,” which was approved. This adaptation birthed the series, challenging media censorship and questioning societal norms in our hyper-sexualized world where soft-porn imagery was accessible.
Since then, Claudia's work has continued to confront societal norms surrounding women's sexuality and gender roles through cheeky and thought-provoking illustrations. With meticulous attention to detail and a playful approach, her art serves as a reflection of womanhood and personal experiences. From dissecting modern dating culture to exploring sexuality and the biological clock, Claudia's illustrations aim to provoke conversation and challenge perceptions.
