Picasso’s father’s surname was Ruiz and his mother’s was Picasso. At first, he went by Ruiz y Picasso but his schoolmates called him Picasso and it stuck!

His early words were piz piz short for lapiz which means pencil. He later moved to using paints to make his artpieces. Although we often think of Picasso from his surrealistic paintings, he did many paintings that were realistic. His work is divided into several stages depending on the style and color scheme. The names of these periods are Blue, Rose, African Art and Primitivivism, Synthetic Cubism, and Neoclassicism and Surrealism.
