Tomás Pichardo-Espaillat (b. 1987, Santo Domingo) is a storyteller from the Dominican Republic. Working primarily on video, animation and drawing. He was granted a full year scholarship at Fabrica, Benetton's Design Research center, in Treviso, Italy in 2013. Tomás received his BFA in Art and Media at Parsons, the New School of Design in 2010. And his AA degree in fine arts, at Altos de Chavón, in 2008. Pichardo's work has hints of magic realism. Evoking the colorful, surreal and sometimes disorienting experience of growing up in the Caribbean. His world is personal and intimate, with characters full of colors and textures, drawn into situations outside of their comfort zone. Recent solo exhibitions include CasaQuien (DR), Centro de la Imagen (DR) and Fabrica Features (Lisbon, Portugal). And he has had work included in group exhibitions at the Triennale di Milano (Italy), Museum for Contemporary Art, (México) and Annecy Animation Film Festival (France).
