He is known internationally for playful, abstract works that continued to carry the dream-like ambiance of Surrealism. His wide body of work includes drawings, paintings, prints, ceramics and sculpture. Major projects include the 1958 ceramic murals The Sun and The Moon for the UNESCO building in Paris.

Joan Miró artworks are collected around the world. Many retrospectives of his works have taken place during his lifetime and after.
