Joan Miró was a renowned Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born on April 20, 1893, in Barcelona, Spain, and he passed away on December 25, 1983. He is celebrated for his distinctive, surrealist style characterized by vibrant colors, abstract forms, and whimsical imagery. Miró’s work often includes playful, childlike shapes and symbols that convey a sense of spontaneity and imagination.

Miró's art is closely associated with the Surrealist movement, although his approach was unique and evolved over time. His early work was influenced by Cubism and Fauvism, but he later embraced Surrealism, experimenting with techniques that emphasized automatic drawing and the exploration of the unconscious mind.

In addition to painting, Miró created a significant body of work in sculpture and ceramics. His contributions to modern art have had a lasting impact, and his works are featured in major museums and collections around the world.
