Ima Pico is a Spanish born visual artist now based in Manchester, United Kingdom, where she creates vibrant geometric abstractions that pulse with Mediterranean warmth and urban edge. After earning a Fine Arts degree from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, she relocated to England and established Ima Pico Studio, a workspace that doubles as a laboratory for colour, form and digital experimentation. Her practice spans painting, screen print and installation, all united by a fascination with hard edged shapes and bold, saturated hues.

Pico begins each composition with hand cut stencils and vector sketches, translating angular silhouettes into layered arrangements of coral, turquoise, sunflower and emerald. These blocks of colour interlock like abstract architecture, suggesting city skylines, festival bunting or fragments of memory viewed through stained glass. She often works on a small scale first, producing mini canvases and paper editions that invite close inspection, then expands the same visual language into larger wall pieces and immersive environments.

Recent series explore media saturation and sensory overload, using repetition and gradient shifts to echo the endless scroll of digital feeds. Despite the crisp geometry, her process remains intuitive; she sands edges, adds gestural marks and allows under-painting to peek through, ensuring each piece retains a human pulse.

Exhibitions at Artelista and group shows across Valencia and Manchester have sold out, while commissions have brightened co-working spaces and private homes throughout the North West. Whether printing a limited edition or painting a full wall, Pico approaches every surface with the same goal: transform abstract form into pure joy and remind viewers that colour, when arranged with conviction, can feel as alive as any landscape.
