Pablo Picasso wasn't "created" by anyone in a literal sense — he was a human being who was born, not a work of art or invention. I suspect the question might be a bit of a mix-up between asking "who created Picasso's paintings" (which would just be Picasso himself) or "who were Picasso's parents" or "how did Picasso become who he was." I'll answer it broadly, covering his birth, his parents, and the influences that shaped him as an artist, since that's likely the heart of what's being asked.

Birth and Parentage

Pablo Picasso was born on October 25, 1881, in Málaga, Spain. His full birth name was famously long — Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Mártir Patricio Clito Ruíz y Picasso — reflecting the Spanish custom of honoring saints and relatives in naming.

His parents were José Ruiz y Blasco and María Picasso y López. His father was a painter and art teacher who specialized in naturalistic depictions of birds and other game, and he taught at the local School of Fine Arts. It was from his father that Picasso received his earliest formal training in drawing and painting. According to family legend, José recognized his son's prodigious talent early and, as the story goes, was so struck by the boy's skill that he handed over his own palette and brushes, vowing never to paint again — though historians treat this anecdote with some skepticism, as embellished family lore. Still, it captures the truth that José was instrumental in nurturing Pablo's early artistic development, enrolling him in academic art programs and pushing him toward formal training in Barcelona and later Madrid.

Interestingly, Picasso eventually adopted his mother's surname, Picasso, instead of his father's surname, Ruiz — a common enough practice in Spain, but one that also may reflect his desire to distinguish himself and forge his own identity as an artist.

Artistic Formation

Beyond his parents, Picasso's development as an artist was shaped by a series of teachers, cities, and creative communities. He studied at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona and briefly at the Royal Academy of San Fernando in Madrid, though he found academic instruction stifling and preferred to learn by observing masters in the Prado Museum, particularly Diego Velázquez, Francisco Goya, and El Greco.

His move to Paris in the early 1900s exposed him to the avant-garde art world, where he encountered the works of Paul Cézanne, whose fractured approach to form heavily influenced the development of Cubism. Picasso's collaboration with Georges Braque in the years leading up to World War I led to the invention of Cubism, one of the most revolutionary movements in modern art.

In Summary

So, to directly answer: Picasso was not "created" — he was born to José Ruiz y Blasco and María Picasso y López in Málaga, Spain, in 1881. His father gave him his first artistic instruction, but Picasso's genius, style, and eventual fame were forged through decades of study, experimentation, and interaction with fellow artists like Braque, as well as inspiration drawn from masters like Velázquez and Cézanne.
