Joan Miró

Galerie Alaux is proud to present Joan Miró as one of our master artists.
We are delighted to offer an exclusive selection of original works by this visionary artist, whose boundless imagination and poetic symbolism helped redefine the course of modern art in the 20th century. The pieces available in our gallery capture the dreamlike vitality, playful forms, and chromatic brilliance that characterize his enduring legacy.

Joan Miró (1893–1983), born in Barcelona, is celebrated as one of the most influential figures of the Surrealist movement, though his creative spirit transcended any single category. From an early age, Miró rejected conventional artistic norms, seeking instead a language of signs, symbols, and colors that could evoke the freedom of the subconscious mind.

His early work reflected influences from Fauvism and Cubism, but he soon developed a style uniquely his own — a vibrant universe where stars, moons, birds, and fantastical creatures dance in floating constellations across the canvas. For Miró, painting was an act of liberation, a way to tap into the childlike wonder and primal instincts that he believed modern society had suppressed.

Throughout his prolific career, Miró explored a wide range of media, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, and monumental public art. His bold use of color, organic shapes, and playful abstraction gave visual form to a poetic and often humorous world, earning him recognition as a master of lyrical abstraction.

Miró’s art was deeply rooted in his Catalan identity and a profound sense of political and cultural independence. Even as he embraced spontaneity and chance, his works carried subtle yet powerful commentaries on freedom, resistance, and the human spirit. His influence can be seen in generations of artists who continue to draw inspiration from his radical openness and inventive spirit.

At Galerie Alaux, it is a privilege to showcase original works by Joan Miró, offering collectors and admirers a glimpse into the mind of an artist whose cosmic vision forever expanded the boundaries of modern art. His legacy lives on as an invitation to dream, to play, and to see the world anew through the eyes of endless possibility.
