BIOGRAPHY

PASCÓ

Visual Artist, Painter, Photographer, Entrepreneur

ARTIST STATEMENT

PASCÓ creates bold, generally large scale paintings, prints, photographs of his life, lovers and friends, sculptures, installations and books that explore ideas related to the intersection of pop-art, abstract-expressionism, documentary photography, authored material, personal power, modern day communication, the laws of intention and attraction, social media, romance, adventure and love. The artist mines his own collection of 20th century cultural ephemera, including blogs, books, memes, magazines and films, for source material.

“I create thought-provoking messages, affirmations of greatness, magical moments & stimulating visuals to inspire myself and my fellow kings & queens... the entrepreneurs, the dreamers, the hustlers, the go-getters, the adventure seekers and the miracle makers of the world.

My work directly reflects my own internal dialogue as I scream these ideas and messages at myself." ~ PASCÓ

BIOGRAPHY

PASCÓ is a Caribbean-American Contemporary, Visual & Conceptual Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur, Renaissance Man and the Founder & Chief Curator of MMoA - The Modern Museum of Art.

VICE Magazine referred to PASCÓ as one of our "NEW AMERICAN DREAMERS. His iconic "Bird With A French Fry" painting, proclaiming "Today Is A Gift!" adorns the foyer as you enter the home of the biggest movie star in the world, as featured in Architectural Digest cover story "Living With Art" as the highlight of Robert Downey Jr's art collection and an EMMY winning actor displays huge prints of his selfie photographs all around his Hollywood piano bar to inspire and delight his movie and tv star friends and patrons to illicit a sense of decadence, revelry and wonder.
