Pablo Ruiz Picasso(25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist and theatre designer who spent most of his adult life in France. One of the most influential artists of the 20th century, he is known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d’Avignon (1907), and the anti-war painting Guernica (1937), a dramatic portrayal of the bombing of Guernica by German and Italian air forces during the Spanish Civil War.

Miquel Barcelo is regarded as one of the most renowned Spanish painters of the 21st century.
Jose Royo is frequently compared to Sorolla since his use of light is the central theme of his artwork. While he has painted notable Spanish people, his best works feature the Mediterranean.
Aside from being a painter, Lita Cabellut is a multifaceted artist who creates sculptures, poetry, paper, films, and scenography drawings. She has a highly recognizable aesthetic, with a color pallet consisting primarily of red, white, and black.
