Pablo Picasso was a prolific Spanish artist and a central figure in 20th-century modern art. A pioneer of Cubism, his career involved constant experimentation across painting, sculpture, and drama.

His body of work is extensive, with estimates ranging from 20,000 original works to over 140,000 total pieces, including paintings, prints, engravings, and ceramics. One of his most significant contributions is the mural ‘Guernica’, which serves as a condemnation of the atrocities of the Spanish Civil War.

After studying in Spain, Picasso moved to Paris in 1904, where he engaged with other major artists and became a global symbol of artistic innovation.
