Pablo Picasso was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet, and playwright. He was born in Málaga, Spain, on October 25, 1881.
While he later lived in France for most of his life, he never renounced his Spanish citizenship. His work was deeply influenced by Spanish culture and art, as seen in his early Blue and Rose periods. He was also a vocal supporter of the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War.
Therefore, despite his long residence in France, Picasso remained a Spanish citizen throughout his life.
