Through the curated selection, visitors can trace the artistic journey of the master – from his early technical brilliance to his later boundary-pushing explorations. The exhibition also echoes the theme of Art Macao 2025: “Hey, what brings you here?”, inviting visitors to reflect on the relationship between art, identity, and one’s original creative drive—a question Picasso ceaselessly asked himself throughout his life.
Now in its third edition, Art Macao is held under the pastronage of the Macao SAR Government’s Secretariat for Social Affairs and Culture, organised by the Cultural Affairs Bureau, and co-organised by Macao Government Tourism Office.
The Biennale aims to foster meaningful dialogue across culture and artistic exchange while advancing its strategic objectives to elevate Macau’s international cultural profile, nurture local creative talent, and reinforce the city’s evolving role as a world-class destination for cultural tourism.
