Serena's Art Factory Store

Willemstad


Serena Janet Israel is the creative mind (and hands) behind Chichi, the vibrantly painted, big-bosomed woman sculptures that decorate the island's courtyards and alleyways. Chichi comes in many sizes and designs, and you can pick your favorite – or opt for another colorful creation – at Serena's Art Factory Store.

If you don't see one you like, consider visiting Serena's Art Factory and painting your own.
