Picos’ paintings and sculptures are soothingly overstated and unaffected, striking the perfect balance between stability and spontaneity. Picos’ figures and shapes have an intrinsic grace, like they organically emerged out of the colors and brushstrokes that make up each work of art. Yet the organic characteristics of Picos’ art contrast its underlying orderliness. Geometric patterns and evenly distributed line work give his paintings an egalitarian consistency, emphasizing the fact that every figure, shape and mark exists a single, flattened plane. This interaction between natural, spontaneous beauty and intentionality is what makes Picos’ art compelling. Ultimately, Per Picos’ work harmonizes rawness and constancy, making eruptions of texture and expressionistic strokes seem part of a larger, ordered plan. Inspired by romanticism, Picos constantly explores the complexities of nature and emotion, inviting his viewers to explore with him. His art belongs to numerous corporate collectors and has appeared on album covers. Picos lives and works in Miami Beach, Florida.
