Ciudad Carmín II by Enrique Pichardo: An abstract explosion from the cultural roots Abstract expressionism with its own visual identity: Ciudad Carmín II by Enrique Pichardo Ciudad Carmín II by Enrique Pichardo is an acrylic painting on canvas that measures 200×150 cm. In this work, the artist uses figurative abstraction to represent a scene loaded with visual references to masks and Mexican crafts. The composition displays superimposed figures, flat structures and dynamic lines that configure an environment where everything happens at the same time. This piece is a clear example of how Pichardo articulates a visual language that dispenses with mimesis, to focus his attention on energy, color and symbolic force. Superposition of planes and visual decomposition The work is built from a marked preference for moving away from reality. All elements coexist on the same plane, generating a compact scene that challenges conventional spatial hierarchies. Instead of establishing depth, Pichardo employs accumulation and simultaneity. Thus, each fragment of the painting takes center stage without being diluted into a narrative background. This formal strategy allows the viewer to freely navigate through the different characters, signs and volumes that make up the scene.
Expressive force from a child's perspective There is a clear desire to experiment with free structures and intuitive gestures. The fluid line and open composition refer to an unprejudiced gaze, close to that of a perpetual child. In this approach, painting becomes a playful space where enthusiasm, freedom and longing for life are celebrated. Each character or figure that appears refers to invented symbols, but rooted in a living cultural tradition. This connection with everyday life transformed into visual vitality is a constant in his production. Abstract vitality with Mexican roots The scene represented does not obey any narrative canon. Rather, it is an autonomous visual system, a symbolic ecosystem that emerges from color, composition and repetition. The influence of Mexican masks is not decorative, but structural. It serves as a starting point to build vibrant characters that synthesize story and gameplay. Painting does not imitate, but rather interprets: it generates an abstract version of what is culturally recognizable, resignifying it through playful abstract expressionism. This approach connects with the set of works that Pichardo has developed in various formats and contexts, as can be seen here.

Presentation
Enrique Pichardo Egea, a being of remarkable artistic temperament, unfolds before our eyes a singularly fascinating perspective. He is not just an artist; rather, he is a child with many years, as his strokes and creations transcend chronological barriers and embody the essence of sublime innocence.
Born in Mexico City on April 17, 1973, Pichardo has cultivated an innate connection with art from a tender age, finding in the simplest expressions the source of his purest joy.
Pichardo's trajectory has been built upon an intricate path, a journey fraught with crossroads and obstacles overcome with determination. After a period of experimentation during his formative years, the illustrious creator decided to reclaim what ignited the flame of his childhood passion, guiding his steps towards the revered institution of the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Printmaking, known as "La Esmeralda". However, within that sacred abode of art, Pichardo refused to be confined by what he perceived as a rigid and bureaucratic framework. Instead, he chose to rescue the naturalness of creative innocence that had inhabited him since childhood.
He returned to the primordial, to the realm of freedom, ceaselessly experimenting until he rediscovered the imprint that had pulsed within him since his early years, ultimately defining the distinctive style he proudly wields today with singular mastery.
Today, the eight-year-old child dwelling deep within Enrique Pichardo manifests himself in all his magnificence through a pictorial composition infused with his inimitable personality, where body, mind, and soul converge harmoniously. Thus, the virtuoso artist presents us with authentic, intimate communications, imbued with a musical, obsessive, and compulsive style. Mexican expressionism, in its contemporary manifestation, finds its most eloquent representation in him, one that has earned well-deserved recognition and immense applause in the vast Latin artistic universe and transcended borders.
Pichardo's distinctive symbolism, inspired by the everyday transformed into pulsating life, as well as primordial beings steeped in magic and vibrant spirituality, combines to create a visual language that captivates and seduces the most discerning audiences.
