This playful print by Joan Miró feels like a little visual poem. I love the way these shapes hover, they’re light and airy, like stars in a night sky. The bold red star at the top, like a kid's drawing, and that blobby black shape with the concentric circles... I imagine Miró experimenting, maybe even making mistakes, and then turning those “mistakes” into something beautiful and unexpected. It's a reminder that art is about embracing the unknown and finding new possibilities in the process. Looking at this, I'm reminded of other artists like Paul Klee, who also used simple shapes and symbols to create a sense of wonder and playfulness. What do you see when you look at it? What kind of mood does the print evoke? Maybe happiness? Maybe melancholy? It’s all up to you to decide.
