恰克．扎爾笛瓦爾在他的創作中以童趣般的方式來詮釋對成人主題，挑釁少部份人。但這只一個用來散佈幽默破冰方式，作品靈感來自只有少部份人理解的分歧、熟悉規範間的距離、社會習俗及先入為主的想法。
恰克的幽默風格令人感到越軌或奇怪，因為他將角色渲染成可識別但又完全不安的獨特方式，變成了從卡通到怪誕的識別性。他讓一種善變的力量引導他的手，可能就像他死去的藝術影響一樣，他創造了自己的人類物種，只是為了承載一種心理陰謀，成為支持他一直實踐的支點。
恰克更傾向於諷刺和藝術挪用的觸覺奇思妙想，以輕笑的反叛精神進行他的過程。在這個展覽“Fake It While You Make It”中，恰克重新創作了著名的藝術作品，同時摒棄了哲學語境和傳統方式，傳達他所謂的「業餘對傑作的看法」。然而，他的畫作遠非他所聲稱的對其作品的笨拙表現。它們源自古老而榮耀的大師的作品，精心製作並以厚顏無恥的幽默和標誌性的笑臉進行模仿。隨著恰克深入研究將著名的藝術作品重新語境化，他利用了許多其他聯想，去除了建築的偽裝，取而代之的是矛盾、政治不正確和一絲苦樂參半的謬論，不一定是為了讓他的觀眾享受令人愉悅的體驗，而也許是傳喚一個秘密的玩笑。
恰克．扎爾笛瓦爾是一位菲律賓當代藝術家，他的素描、繪畫和雕塑以諷刺意象和文字為中心。他使用各種媒材，如丙烯酸和油畫顏料、石墨和樹脂等。他曾參加過當地著名畫廊的多個群展，包括 Vinyl on Vinyl 和 Blanc Gallery，並且展出於 2020 年和 2021 年ALT Philippines藝博會等。
Chalk Zaldivar has a way of creating art with a child-like interpretation of adult subject-matter that provokes some if not a lot of people. But this is only an icebreaker served to dispense humor that is inspired by esoteric gaps, distance between familiar codes, social conventions, and preconceived ideas. Zaldivar’s brand of humor is curiously transgressive as his distinctive way of rendering characters into something recognizable but altogether uneasy becomes a taxonomy ranging from the cartoonish to the grotesque. He allows a mercurial force to guide his hand and probably just like his dead art influences, he creates his own species of humans only to carry a psychological intrigue that has been the fulcrum of his practice.
Leaning more toward irony and the tactile whimsy of art appropriation, Zaldivar approaches his process with a chuckling rebellious spirit. In this show “Fake It While You Make It”, Zaldivar recreates famous works of art while abandoning philosophical contexts and conventional means to convey what he calls “an amateur take on masterpieces”. His paintings, however, are far from what he asserts as a gawky representation of his works. They are derived from compositions of old and glorified masters, heedfully produced and parodized with cheeky humor and a signature smiley. As Zaldivar dives deeper into recontextualizing famous works of art, he taps into a bunch of other associations, removing architectural guises and replacing them with contradiction, political incorrectness and a hint of bittersweet paradox— not necessarily to indulge his audience with a palatable experience but rather to summon perhaps a secret giggle.
Chalk Zaldivar is a Filipino contemporary artist whose drawings, paintings, and sculptures are centered on satirical imagery and text. He uses various media such as acrylic and oil paint, graphite, and resin among others. He has participated in multiple group shows across prestigious local galleries including Vinyl on Vinyl and Blanc Gallery and was part of ALT Philippines 2020 and 2021.
