NICK PINCIARO
Picks is an artist/muralist residing in the North Shore of Massachusetts. He utilizes his strengths in design to help bring client ideas to life! One thing that stands out in Pick’s art: He is not afraid to venture out of the norm with his mediums, layering them on his canvas work to create textures and depth.. His pieces range from acrylics, oils, spray paint, pastels, paint pens, paper collages, to things that can be found in your typical garage or shed… his best find to date is quick dry concrete, which we see in a majority of his newer canvas works!
Picks main goal in life as well as art, is to make people happy and spread nothing but good vibes!
