From the beginning, PichiAvo shunned artistic individuality, joining forces to create an absolutely unique body of work using a conceptually urban language, both on the street and in the studio.
They trained in Fine Arts and Design and met in the graffiti scene in Valencia, forming the duo PichiAvo in 2007. From that moment on they worked on the development of joint projects, pursuing a relentless pursuit of their own style. To achieve this they went through various stages as painters, initially focusing on skill and technique until they reached the point of needing to express themselves through what defines them most: graffiti and classical art.
Recognized for their ability to create connections between painting and sculpture in urban environments, they take a totally innovative approach to their artistic fusions. A balanced combination of classical art and the most contemporary urban art is identified in their work.
Since 2015, PichiAvo has executed projects in some of the most important international urban art venues, including the mythical Houston Bowery Wall in New York (2017), where theirs was the first pictorial intervention by European artists. In April 2019 they executed the second largest mural in the world in the city of Porto, in collaboration with the celebrated artist Vhils. PichiAvo's career has achieved artistic recognition, critical acclaim and popularity on an international scale, placing him among the most prominent street artists in today's urban art scene.
