Joan Miro

Barcelona based Spanish painter, sculptor, ceramicist, and muralist, Joan Miro “dismantled traditional precepts of representation” (The Art Story, 2017) through his inventive style of abstract which never fully became non-objective. His work is influenced by surrealism and dadaism, which speaks to me because I also find these art movements interesting.

What I particularly enjoyed about his work is that he experiments with mark making, which shows the progression of his work of when he started and when he became a professional artist.
