Joan Miro

Born in 1893, Joan Miró was a Catalan Spanish artist renowned for his pioneering contributions to Surrealism and modern art. He developed a distinctive visual language characterized by playful, biomorphic forms and bold colors, blending abstraction with dreamlike imagery. Miró's work often reflected his deep connection to Catalan identity and his desire to challenge conventional artistic norms, leading him to explore various mediums including painting, sculpture, and ceramics. His notable works include The Farm, Harlequin's Carnival, and the Constellations series. In recognition of his impact, the Fundació Joan Miró was established in Barcelona in 1975 to celebrate his legacy and promote contemporary art.
