Joan Miró (1893–1983) was a renowned Spanish surrealist artist known for his whimsical, abstract works that blend elements of fantasy, dreams, and symbolic imagery. Born in Barcelona, Miró became one of the most influential artists of the 20th century, contributing to both surrealism and abstract art movements. His distinctive style often featured bold colors, organic forms, and playful, childlike imagery, such as stars, moons, and simplified human figures.

Miró's work spanned painting, sculpture, ceramics, and printmaking, and he was deeply influenced by Catalan culture, as well as the political and social turmoil of his time. His early works were inspired by the surrealist movement and he often explored the subconscious, but over time, his style evolved toward abstraction with a focus on bright colors and symbolic shapes.

He exhibited internationally and his works are housed in major collections, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Joan Miró Foundation in Barcelona. Miró remains celebrated for his ability to combine abstraction with playful imagination, creating timeless works that resonate with audiences around the world.
