Hoche graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Painting from the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts in 1995. His creative process is one of exploration, often in abstract and landscapes. He had held various exhibits, with his latest at the GSIS Museum of Art, titled “Start at Some Point." 

He paints in oil and watercolor, and he never knows exactly what it will look in its finished stage because he often changes directions. He likes the fact he's often surprised at what he comes up with. It’s like embarking on an uncertain adventure, where the destination is not always what he hoped for.
