Girl Before a Mirror, Picasso

Pablo Picasso was born in Málaga in 1881 and showed exceptional artistic talent from a very young age. At the age of eight, he painted his first work, titled “The Yellow Picador”, where his remarkable ability to capture movement and expression was already evident. During his childhood and youth, Picasso mastered the academic rules of traditional painting with astonishing ease, standing out for his precision in form and color. This solid technical mastery became the foundation upon which, years later, he would build one of the most influential aesthetic revolutions of the 20th century: Cubism.
