During his childhood, his father taught him the techniques of the art of painting. His father supplied him all the tools and practical knowledge to succeed. It wasn’t very long before young Pablo surpassed his father in talent and success. At the turn of the century, in a land full of sights, sounds, and people who Pablo had never experienced before, Pablo’s personal and artistic lives would undergo a drastic metamorphosis.
