He produced oil paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and ceramics, and was the most prolific artist of his lifetime. He was brought up seeing many paintings from his childhood because his father was an art teacher. He moved to Barcelona in 1895, entered art school. In 1907, he created "Daughters of Avignon" which was the beginning of cubism, around 1911 changed his painting style and turned to "abstract painting"which was a more advanced version of "cubism", and was commissioned to create a mural in the Spanish Pavilion at Expo 1937, Paris.
