Madonna’s son, Rocco Ritchie, revealed that he has spent the past six months creating art abroad. The 25-year-old has spent time in Mexico, Spain and Portugal while working on a new collection of paintings and sculptures.
Rocco took to Instagram to share an update with his followers regarding his new work and travels. Alongside a photograph of himself painting a portrait in vibrant shades of red, he penned: “I spent the past six months in Mexico, Spain and Portugal, where I made a body of new paintings and a handful of sculptures. Very excited to be exhibiting with @pierre_augustin_rose this October in Paris.”
The artist wore a gray jumper and a pair of brown corduroy pants in the photo. Elsewhere, he rocked a black vest and silver chain necklace.
Madonna’s son shared another photo carousel on July 27, documenting special moments across his vacation. The first picture captured him dressed in a cream that featured an oversized blazer and wide leg pants. The ensemble was layered over a blue-and-white striped shirt. “A week well spent in sevilla, drawing, drinking, dancing,” he captioned the post.

Rocco first started out as an artist under the pseudonym “Maison Rhed”. Back in April, the artist held an exhibition in London. The event saw his parents, Madonna and Guy Richie, reunite for the first time in 15 years. The former couple tied the knot in 2000, just a few months after welcoming their son. Madonna filed for divorce in October 2008.

The work should speak for itself, that’s why the show was called ‘Talk Is Cheap’.”

Obviously, that means being labeled as such as, which in a way is kind of their problem and not mine. And it’s up to me to focus on doing the work, and committing to my passion and my love toward making art,” he told WWD.
“Well, I love them dearly so obviously I care in terms of what they say. They’re also very talented in what they do. I definitely draw inspiration from their work.”
