It should come as no surprise that Rocco Ritchie, son of Madonna and Guy Ritchie, is a talented and creative artist. The young man spent years both studying and perfecting his craft, and has developed a unique painting style that has taken the art world by storm. "I was fortunate enough to know what I wanted to do at a young age and once I had settled into art school, it kick-started my work," Rocco told Vogue Hong Kong. The artist has since then taken part in a number of exhibitions, including one which he held in the Miami Design District in April of 2024.
