Chamchinov’s work is often characterized by a blend of abstract and figurative elements, exploring themes of human existence, memory, and time.

He has created several of these books, which are highly regarded in the art community for their meticulous craftsmanship and creativity. His "artists' books" serve as a platform where he experiments with various forms of printmaking, painting, and sculpture.

Throughout his career, Chamchinov has held numerous exhibitions in prestigious galleries and museums across Europe, showcasing both his individual artworks and his collaborative projects. His work reflects his deep understanding of different artistic techniques, which he combines to create a distinct and thought-provoking visual language.
