Welcome to Picaflor Studios

Hello, I’m Pablo Machioli, founder of Picaflor Studios. Originally from Uruguay, I made Baltimore my home in 2003, driven by a mission to create art that resonates deeply with people and places. "Picaflor"—meaning "hummingbird" in Spanish—symbolizes my journey, an endless pursuit of beauty and connection, which I bring to life through murals.Since 2012, I’ve painted over 100 murals across the U.S. and internationally. Each mural is more than an image; it’s a story, a connection, and a piece of the community, designed to bring people together.

Why Picaflor Studios?
I created Picaflor Studios as a way to expand beyond murals, exploring new media and technology while staying true to my mission of connecting people through art. This studio allows me to share the power of storytelling with new communities and explore fresh directions in design and technique.Thank you for being here. I invite you to explore my portfolio, and if you’re inspired to create something meaningful for your space, let’s bring that vision to life together. And if you have an artistic idea in mind, I’d love for you to challenge me—share your vision, and I’ll let you know how we can make it a reality.
