Paloma Picasso Jewelry

Paloma Picasso, the daughter of Pablo Picasso was born in 1949 in Vallauris on the French Riviera. Fruit of the union between the master of modern art, Pablo Picasso, and Franoise Gilot, artist and writer, Paloma Picasso is represented in many of her father's works, such as Paloma with an Orange and Paloma in Blue.

As a teenager developing her own taste and style, Paloma Picasso was reluctant to pursue artistic goals. "In the beginning, I tried not to think that I would have to do anything artistic, " she related in Hispanic. "From the time I was fourteen, I stopped drawing completely. I thought, 'I don't want to become a painter like my father, ' but I didn't know what else I wanted to become."

Picasso's urge to create soon surpassed her hesitation, and she began to study jewelry design and fabrication while still in her teens. In 1980, John Loring, senior vice-president of Tiffany & Company, asked Picasso to create jewelry for the company.

The success of the jewelry Picasso produced for Tiffany & Company encouraged her to design and market items ranging from fashion accessories to china. These items, including eyewear, cosmetics, and leather goods, may be identified by their bold shapes and brilliant colors, and are sold and appreciated throughout the world.

Truly in love with the Lake Geneva region, Paloma Picasso inaugurated the Lausanne-based Paloma Picasso Foundation, which aims to promote the works of her parents and particularly of her mother, Franoise Gilot, whose artistic endeavors are little known in Europe.See full article.
