October 25 marks the birth anniversary of Spanish painter Pablo Picasso, born in Malaga in 1881. A central figure in the development of modern and contemporary art, Picasso was a versatile artist who worked as a painter, sculptor, and dramatist.

His career was defined by constant experimentation, leading him to become a pioneer of Cubism. Notable works include ‘Guernica’, a powerful condemnation of the atrocities committed during the Spanish Civil War. Over his lifetime, he produced approximately 20,000 original works. After studying in Barcelona, he moved to Paris in 1904, where he engaged with other major artists such as Matisse and Joan Miró, eventually becoming a global symbol of artistic innovation.
