Plastic artist and painter

Pablo Picasso, born in Málaga, Spain, in 1881, was a pioneering artist who transformed twentieth-century art. Constantly evolving, he explored styles such as the Blue Period, Rose Period, Cubism, and Surrealism. With a mastery of painting, sculpture, ceramics, drawing, and printmaking, Picasso redefined artistic boundaries and narrative structures. Alongside Georges Braque, he co-founded Cubism, introducing fragmented forms, multiple perspectives, and a radical new visual language. His iconic works, like Les Demoiselles d'Avignon and Guernica, reflect both profound personal exploration and powerful social commentary. Relentlessly innovative and prolific, Picasso produced an immense body of work across different media and periods, continuously pushing the limits of artistic expression. His legacy remains a cornerstone of modern and contemporary art. Picasso died in Mougins, France, in 1973.
