One of Spain‘s most influential artists, Joan Miró had a long love affair with Mallorca where he moved at age 63 in 1956. His focus was on recurring themes, like landscapes, birds, stars, and the sun and moon. In his later works, his style evolved, shaped by Japanese influences. You can view some of his finest works in Palma at the Fundació Pilar i Joan Miró a Mallorca, as well as his original studio on the city’s outskirts. It houses thousands of studio pieces, sculptures, and paintings.
