Live and act

origin

Paloma is the youngest daughter from the relationship of Pablo Picasso and Françoise Gilot . Her older brother is Claude (* 1947). She also has two half-siblings Paulo and Maya. Paloma is the Spanish word for pigeon. This first name was chosen by her father in memory of the symbol of the dove of peace , since the International World Peace Congress was held in Paris in the year his daughter was born. In 1953, Gilot ended his relationship with Picasso and devoted himself to her children and painting. At the end of the 1960s, Paloma and Claude were given their father's last name: Ruiz-Picasso, who married Jacqueline Roque in Vallauris in January 1961 .
