Cédric Toussaint Pico is a Belgian painter . He never works from photographs: everything is painted from life, right in front of the subject. A glass vase, a deck of cards, a damaged car, his own face in the mirror. He picks the small things we see every day and stop noticing. His paintings are simple and quiet, often with a touch of melancholy, and they leave you not quite sure what you’re feeling. That’s the point: they make you look again at the ordinary.
