Joan Miró 1893-1983

Joan Miró, born April 20, 1893, in Barcelona, is a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramist, a major figure in Modern Art. From a young age, he showed an interest in drawing, but began studying business before devoting himself fully to art. Influenced by Fauvism, Cubism, and especially Surrealism, he developed a unique style characterized by organic forms, vivid colors, and a strong poetic dimension. In 1920, he moved to Paris, where he frequented avant-garde artistic circles. His work reflects a desire to rebel against artistic and political conventions.

Miró created paintings, sculptures, and monumental works, often imbued with symbolism and dreams. He collaborated with artists such as André Breton and participated in the fervor of Surrealism. In the 1940s, he returned to Spain, where he continued to create and experiment. He received numerous international awards for his work. Joan Miró died on December 25, 1983, in Palma de Mallorca, leaving behind a unique and influential artistic universe.
