Joan Miró's artistic oeuvre prominently features the symbolic motif of the moon, serving as a conduit for complex and multifaceted interpretations. Miró's fascination with the celestial body transcends its astronomical essence, acquiring symbolic significance as a representation of mystery, dreams, and the subconscious. The moon in Miró's works becomes a metaphorical portal into the artist's inner psyche, inviting viewers to navigate the intricate realms of their own imagination. Through the recurrent presence of this celestial symbol, Miró prompts contemplation on the interplay between the tangible and intangible, conscious and subconscious, within the realm of artistic expression.
