IMA PICÓ
This Valencian artist doesn´t shy away from creating vivid abstract art. Ima Picó´s work connotes a sense of freedom specific to an unabashed relationship with colour. At first glance, Pico´s art is bold and full of unusual shapes that fit perfectly side by side. However, once you see her holding one of her creations on Instagram you realise there is more to be admired beyond the vibrancy of her art. The creativity, patience and steady hands needed to create on 4″ x 4″ canvas is a talent to be applauded.
