Joan Miró was born in Barcelona on April 20, 1893, to a humble family and showed artistic talent from an early age. After struggling with his family's expectations, he pursued art full-time and became a prominent figure in the art world, notably in Paris, experimenting with various techniques and materials. Miró passed away at 90 in Palma de Mallorca, but is buried in his hometown of Barcelona, leaving behind a legacy of iconic artworks and sculptures.
