From a young age, the art of Picasso has captivated me, not just for his mastery of styles and techniques, but for the way he allowed his work to transform alongside his life. His profound words, “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child,” have echoed in my mind for years and became the guiding force behind this collection.
This series is a homage to Picasso's boundless versatility—a tribute to the childlike wonder and ceaseless curiosity that he carried through his craft. Each painting is a reflection of transformation, imagined through shifting styles, colors, and techniques. Like Picasso, I sought to reinterpret the world through different lenses, challenging myself to see with fresh eyes as if for the first time.
The collection is a visual exploration of growth and reinvention, of holding onto the simplicity and ingenuity of childhood while wading through the complexities of adulthood. Each piece invites the viewer to pause and reconnect with their own sense of wonder, to discover stories of growth and possibility within the layered strokes.
Through these works, I hope to inspire not only a reflection on art but on life itself—ever-changing, yet eternally curious.
