Picardo is a versatile abstract-expressionist Caribbean Artist based in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Picardo uses colorful, bold palettes and heavy brushstrokes to invoke the vibrant and colorful culture. The work of Picardo makes a statement about our mystic order of existence and how this relates to everyday life in our universe. It is a world concerned with social content and self-respect, and parallels to the reality of life are seen through a world of abstraction that blurs both worlds. Using a combination of oil and acrylic, the artist portrays figures seeming to move in and out of everyday existence with a contemporary flair for color, line, and form. Picardo celebrates the histories, cultures, and Latino’s contributions to the United States of America.
