surrealism

With simple lines and abstract forms, Joan Miró has created an enigmatic composition. Throughout, we see symbols of eyes represented as simple black circles. Eyes, the windows to the soul, evoke not only sight but also the act of seeing and being seen. Miró's symbolic language takes us back to ancient Egypt where the Eye of Horus signified protection, royal power, and good health, or forward to the modern era where the Surrealists used the eye to explore dreams and the subconscious. Here, the black eye evokes a feeling of being watched, a motif that recurs in different contexts from religious icons to surveillance technology, embodying a sense of cosmic awareness. In its ever-changing form, the eye remains a potent psychological symbol, engaging viewers on a deep, subconscious level. It represents a cyclical progression, resurfacing across cultures, evolving, and accumulating new layers of meaning.
