Activities - Chiqio

Since its inception, Chiqio has aimed to attract and inspire like-minded art enthusiasts worldwide to create outstanding artworks together. The ideology of creationism has always been the brand concept and life attitude of Chiqio. Our team consists of designers, artists, writers, directors, photographers, painters, architects, and perfumers. The love for creation is the gene of Chiqio. We firmly believe in the power of creation and hope to pass on our love for life, freedom, creation, and art. Therefore, we have established the Chiqio Foundation and organized the Chiqio Creative Foundation Competition to let more people understand our brand and join us in practicing the concept of artworkism.
