The Magic of the Chichi at Serena’s Art Shop in Curaçao
If you're exploring Curaçao, ChiChi Curaçao, also known as Serena's Art Shop, is a must-visit destination known for its vibrant ChiChi sculptures. What are ChiChis you ask? They’re statues representing the strength and beauty of Caribbean women. For us, a visual representation of body positivity and self-love. These voluptuous goddesses remind us all, "Hey, you're fabulous just the way you are."
Serena's Art Shop, a ChiChi haven, has two locations. The Punda shop, ideal for quick visits and tourists, might be a bit tricky to find. Park nearby and let Google Maps guide you. You'll know you've arrived when you see the larger-than-life ChiChi in the square. The other location, which doubles as a workshop, offers a chance to create your own ChiChi—perfect for a hands-on experience.
What makes Serena's Art Shop special? Transparent pricing, top-notch customer service, and a wide range of representations, from ChiChis in bathing suits to those in wheelchairs. The shop is small but packed with colorful, diverse pieces, from earrings and magnets to high-end brass statues.
Don't miss out on the history of the ChiChi and the workshop hours at the second location. Plan to start your workshop early in your trip, as it takes a few days to complete. After your visit, snap a photo by the Curaçao sign and explore the local eateries and dessert spots.
