Was Picasso's art meant to be confusing?
Some may find my work disorienting, but my intention was never to confuse. It was to awaken perception. The traditional, realistic way of painting offers a kind of visual anesthesia; it presents a finished, easily digestible image. I wanted to engage the viewer, to make them an active participant in the act of seeing and interpreting. My goal was to show them more, not less, of what something truly is.
