Joaquim Pancho - Riacho

Joaquim Pancho was born in Angola, in 1970, in the city of Luanda, having moved to Portugal with his parents at the age of 5, and currently residing in Cascais.
Self-taught from a young age, he has always shown aptitude for the plastic arts, with his painting inspired by the 19th-century impressionism, referencing the works of Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, Alfred Sisley, Renoir, as well as Joseph Zbukvic, Alvaro Castagnet, Herman Pekel and Amanda Hyatt.
It was in the city of Aveiro that he became interested in watercolour, having attended training courses in the technique at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and later in oil painting.
He is currently active, seeking in his works to capture beauty, light and harmony in both landscape and figurative subjects, with several solo and group exhibitions, at both national and international levels.
In 2023, his work was mentioned in ART4ANY magazine no. 16, September 2023 edition, with illustrations of some of his works.
In 2025 his work was mentioned again in the book “100 Artists of Europe,” published by Cultural Lab.
On December 5, 2025, he received a certificate of merit at the Artistas da Europa 2025 event, held at Scuola Grande San Giovanni Evangelista di Venezia, in Venice, organized by PitturiAmo.
On March 13, 2026, he received a second certificate of merit at the Brera 26 Prize event, in Milan.
Part of his résumé can be consulted on his website, as well as some of his watercolour and oil paintings.
