Did you know that pigeons were a recurring motif in Picasso’s art?
As a child in Málaga, Spain, Picasso often sketched the pigeons kept by his father, an artist himself. This fascination resurfaced in his later works, including his famous Dove of Peace series, symbolizing harmony after World War II.
Pigeons not only reflected Picasso’s upbringing but also became a global icon of peace through his art. His work proves that even the simplest childhood memories can inspire timeless creativity.
