What if changing your style is the whole point?
Between 1901 and 1973, Picasso worked through at least a dozen distinct periods. The Blue Period. The Rose Period. African art. Cubism. Neoclassicism. Surrealism. Each time he got good at something, he moved on. By the time the art world caught up to what he was doing, he was already doing something else.
I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it.— Pablo Picasso
