"L'Oiseau solaire, l'oiseau lunaire, étincelles. Triptyque" is a vibrant and dynamic work by Joan Miró. Despite being a single continuous sheet, it is referred to as a triptych due to its elongated shape and the division of its imagery into three distinct sections. These sections depict a solar bird, a lunar bird, and sparks ("étincelles"), each rendered with Miró's signature surrealist style, blending abstraction with playful, organic forms. The work explores cosmic dualities—sun and moon, day and night—expressing an energetic harmony through vivid colors and rhythmic shapes. The print features carborundum relief printing, which gives it extra dimensionality and texture, enhancing the sense of depth and movement in the composition.
