(image) Handsigned by the artist in pencil Signed on the plate Certificate of authenticity Arches Paper Although detached from dogma, Miró continued the legacy of surrealism by developing a language of personal symbols. The forms, reduced to their essence, are the result of controlled automatism: they emerge like fragments of a poetic alphabet. The circle can be the sun, an eye or a planet; stars become symbols of illumination; lines connect the elements like an invisible network of energies. This ambiguity feeds into the interpretative richness of the work. The paper functions as a visual script, where each sign, isolated in space, acquires a singular expressive intensity.
