PichiAvo

PICHIAVO - BIOGRAPHY

PichiAvo are an artistic duo from Valencia, formed by Pichi born in 1977 and Avo in 1985. The two meet in the urban scene of the Spanish city and from that moment begin a collaboration that will consecrate them to international success. For PichiAvo, Valencia, traditional Spanish festivals, Greco-Roman art and graffiti are the foundation of their works. PichiAvo have an immediately recognizable style, also known as Urban mythology, as they combine two apparently contrasting worlds: classical art and graffiti. In the works of the street artists PichiAvo color holds a prominent position, the two Spaniards in fact use a vibrant and explosive color palette. During their fifteen-year career Pichi and Avo have experimented with different artistic and material techniques, in order to constantly renew themselves; for example, in recent years they have approached the plasterboard that transmits to the viewer the materiality and the illusion of observing a mural even in the studio or gallery. In their urban interventions PichiAvo artists insert mythological characters that, in addition to being in harmony with the context where the mural is made, are depicted in a hyperrealistic and sculptural. The two street artists have exhibited in renowned galleries around the world and their walls can be found in almost all continents: from North America to South, from Europe to Oceania.
