As a Mexican Contemporary Expressionism artist, Pichardo reminisces about the Pre-Hispanic past and indigenous traditions by using symbolisms of a time when the civilizations believed in magic, rituals and created beautiful colors. Through his work, he also pays tribute to world renowned Mexican artists such as Rufino Tamayo, Francisco Toledo, Rodolfo Morales, combining this with the perspective of childlike innocence. In 2001, his first exhibiton took place in Polyforum Cultural Siqueiros in Mexico City. His works has been exhibited in different galleries in Mexico such as Estudio Actual, Arthouse, Bernardini Gallery and Galería Dominguez y Buis.
