Pedro Covo
A course by Pedro Covo
The painter Pedro Covo is inspired by the melancholy of family walks, meetings with friends and life in the Caribbean, full of drowsiness and humidity. Something that could be an intimate process has allowed him to tell the stories that define and complete him.
In recent years, he has managed to exhibit his work in different parts of the world and collaborate with magazines, newspapers, publishers and other companies. Currently, he dedicates himself entirely to painting and exploring materials and techniques to capture his surroundings.
