Cossío's tireless exploration and testing of pictorial techniques led him to what is now commonly referred to as "New Realism". Cossío relies on photography as his main support medium and uses the timeless airbrush as his preferred tool. His work evolves through openness and consistent curiosity to achieve his unique contemporary aesthetic.
