PichiAvo
The Valencia-based street art duo PichiAvo has achieved international recognition for their distinctive fusion of classical and contemporary urban art. Through a masterful interplay of mythological sculpture and modern graffiti techniques, they create vibrant, large-scale compositions that bridge the gap between antiquity and the present. Their work not only celebrates the grandeur of classical art but also reimagines it within the dynamic language of today’s urban culture.

PichiAvo’s profound fascination with mythology lies at the heart of their work, where classical narratives are reimagined through a contemporary lens. Their murals juxtapose ancient iconography with modern urban expression, creating a dialogue that feels both timeless and strikingly relevant. By weaving together the past and present, they not only pay homage to classical art but also breathe new life into these enduring stories.
Celebrated worldwide, PichiAvo has earned acclaim for their visionary ability to unite two seemingly opposing art forms into seamless, monumental works. Their murals, found across cities globally, stand as powerful testaments to their bold creativity and their singular artistic voice.
