José A. López Picardo is a Spanish painter and a member of ASPAS (Spanish Pastel Painters Association). He has won his first prize at six, in a six-to-twelve-years-old children’s contest.

He never wanted to exhibit in public because he considered his black and white drawings too much intimate. But then much later, he decided to go ahead with it. From that date, he has exhibited at galleries and cultural halls in Spain and Ireland, and recently at Gallery X, in Dublin.

Selected to exhibit in the III Pastel International Biennial 2016, he has just exhibited, in November 2015, at the solo exhibition called Requiem, in IriArte Gallery in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.

Life after death is the subject in which he focuses his work.

His paintings are disturbing...symbolic, romantic, and even theological. In some cases, he shows visions of a personal onyric world.
