Picardo Colours

A multidimensional artist from the Caribbean. Early in his career, Picardo embraced representational art and, later, abstraction as a basic element of his work, both in his drawings and in his color-filled canvases. His paintings are rhythmically composed, creating a powerful visual space for viewers.

The form and repetition of human bodies in his work can transmit, alternatively, movement or the lack of it, rhythm, or silence. Using this dynamic interaction between his colors and shapes, his canvases of Picardo take on a musical dimension that he manipulates effectively from canvas to canvas.
