The Catalan artist Joan Miro (4 letters) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, and ceramicist born in Barcelona. He was a leading figure in the Surrealist movement and is renowned for his abstract works. Miro's work has been interpreted as a reflection of his Catalan roots, with its bright colors and playful shapes. He is also known for his use of biomorphic forms, which he believed to be a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind.
