Statue of Pablo Picasso, Bronze sculpture at Plaza de la Merced, Málaga, Spain

The Statue of Pablo Picasso depicts the artist seated on a stone bench in a relaxed position, holding a sketchbook while observing his surroundings. This bronze work allows visitors to see him captured in a thoughtful, contemplative moment.

The monument was created by sculptor Francisco López Hernández and installed in 2008 at the location where young Picasso spent his childhood. The placement honors the artist's early years in Málaga and his formative connection to the city.

The statue sits in a bustling square where locals and visitors gather, surrounded by shops and historic buildings that shape the area's character. The location attracts people interested in learning about the artist's connection to his birthplace.

The square is located in Málaga's historic center and is easily accessible on foot, with restaurants, cafes, and shops nearby. Visitors will find benches and shade under trees, making it comfortable to spend time in the area.

The sculpture marks the exact location where young Picasso watched and studied people daily as a child, observing their movements and expressions. This everyday habit shaped his artistic vision and now makes the monument a reminder of his formative years.
