________________________
PichiAvo is the shared signature of Spanish street-art duo Juan Antonio Sánchez (Pichi, b. 1977) and Álvaro Hernández (Avo, b. 1985), lifelong friends from Valencia who merged childhood nicknames into one brand in 2007. Trained in Fine Art and Design, they fuse flamboyant graffiti lettering with the sculptural grandeur of Greco-Roman gods, painting marble-white deities that appear to burst through raw brick or swirling technicolor tags.
Their hybrid “urban mythology” adorns colossal walls worldwide Houston Bowery Wall in New York, a 26-metre Fallas monument in Valencia’s main square, and the second-largest mural on record in Porto while studio canvases and fractured-plaster reliefs like the Diaspasis series extend the dialogue between antiquity and contemporary culture. Jewel-tone aerosol gradients halo pristine Perseus, or Bacchus figures, reminding viewers that classical sculpture was once vividly polychrome. Joint exhibitions (In Gods We Trust, London, 2017; Three Graces, Montréal, 2023) and the Renegades sculpture trilogy at the Hellenic Museum, Melbourne, underscore their mission to legitimize street art by marrying its immediacy with the timeless gravitas of myth, creating a single, boundary defying visual language that rewrites both art-history books and city surfaces.
