PichiAvo, the acclaimed artist duo composed of Pichi (born 1977) and Avo (born 1985), are from Valencia, Spain. They are renowned in the global art scene for an innovative fusion of classical, greco roman art and urban, sculptural graffiti. Their collaboration began in 2007, when they met on the vibrant Valencia graffiti scene and decided to merge their individual talents. Both artists are academically trained in Fine Arts and Design, a foundation that enables them to meticulously construct large scale, high detail murals and indoor, studio works. They began focusing specifically on the fusion of classical mythology and graffiti as a unified, Pichiavo brand after a period of experimentation to move beyond self centered street art, aiming instead to bridge the gap between antiquity and modern urban expression.

Significant accomplishments for Pichiavo include creating the pioneering 2017 mural on the legendary Houston Bowery Wall in New York, marking the first time European artists were invited to intervene there. In 2019, they executed one of the largest, most significant mural projects in the world in Porto, Portugal, collaborating with Vhils. Another notable accomplishment was their 2019 Fallas Festival installation: a massive 26 meter high, 3D monumental sculpture that was later, true to tradition, burned. They also created the stunning 2018 mural in Edmonton, Canada. Their work has been prominently featured at the Hellenic Museum in Melbourne for the "Renegades" project, which is now part of the museum's permanent collection.

In terms of gallery and exhibition work, PichiAvo have displayed their unique, often with Underdogs Gallery hand finished prints and original canvases at respected venues. They presented a notable solo show, "In Gods We Trust" at the Unit Gallery in London's Soho district in 2017, which attracted massive attention. Another significant exhibition was at the Wunderkammern Gallery in 2023, where they explored the destruction of matter and classical fragments. Their work was also included in the opening of the Urban Nation Museum in 2017. Known for their meticulously detailed, large scale, limited edition screen prints that often sell out quickly. Famous pieces of art by them include the "Medusa" mural, the "Rivanna River by Poseidon"and the "Mercury and Psyche".
