Picasso Toy Face by Amrit Pal Singh
Amrit Pal Singh's "Picasso Toy Face" reinterprets Picasso's cubist style in Amrit's signature toy like nostalgic approach to art. The divided face, geometric shapes, and fragmented structure evoke Picasso’s revolutionary approach to form, challenging conventional representation. However, Singh's approach contrasts sharply with the more abstract and often somber tones of Cubism by making the figure lighthearted and approachable, incorporating vibrant colors and soft textures.
This work was developed for, and is currently on view at, Method Kala Ghoda, as part of Method's 5 year anniversary exhibition - Portrait Of A Time

Amrit Pal Singh is a visual artist, 3D illustrator, and art director who revels in play, world cinema, and the occasional side of fries. His creative style is renowned for its whimsical 3D illustrations, diversity-driven designs, and NFTs.
Amrit graduated from Vancouver Film School in 2012. For over a decade, Amrit has been fortunate enough to collaborate with clients worldwide, designing everything from mobile apps and picture books to card games and digital toys. He is particularly proud of his collection of Toy Faces & Toy Rooms, a series of nostalgic artworks available as NFTs that evoke a sense of childlike wonder. In February 2021, Amrit minted my first NFT - Frida Toy Face - which sold for 3.9 ETH. Since then, Amrit has created over 102 artworks as NFTs, with primary sales of over a million USD.
As a visual artist, Amrit's work aims to translate pivotal moments in pop culture into enduring digital artefacts or as I call them non-fungible toys.
His chosen medium for achieving this is Toy Faces, a collection of portraits that are reminiscent of childhood toys and evoke feelings of nostalgia and comfort.
Each Toy Face is carefully crafted to capture the subject's unique features, personality, and spirit. He pays special attention to the colors and patterns on each portrait, using them to enhance the toy-like aesthetic.
Amrit's inspiration for Toy Faces comes from his own love of toys and the memories they bring. He believes that toys have a special ability to transport us back to a time when life was simpler and full of wonder.
With each Toy Face, Amrit hopes to tap into that sense of childlike curiosity and create a connection between the viewer and the subject. In a world that can sometimes feel overwhelming and chaotic, Toy Faces are a reminder of the power of simplicity.
Amrit hope that Toy Faces bring a sense of comfort and joy to those who view them, and that they serve as a reminder that there is always room for a little bit of playfulness in our lives.
