I consider Pablo Picasso to be the true symbol of Spanish art—creative, unique, productive, shining, and versatile. Everywhere I travel in the country, I enjoy visiting museums and galleries that exhibit his works.
It is great that there is now his temporary exhibition in Fondacion Bancaja in Valencia that will last until March 2025. It is called "Jacqueline and her profile" and is devoted to the second wife and muse of Pablo Picasso.
There are around 250 paintings on display using different techniques that mainly represent the storyline of the painter and the model but there are also some other plots. I was absolutely astonished by the watercolour works "Tauromachia" that were dedicated to corrida. Just a few drops of paint by the master and you can easily imagine yourself surrounded by thousands of people watching the bull and the bullfighter.
