His mature style evolved from the tension between his fanciful, poetic impulse and his vision of the harshness of modern life. In spite of his fame, Miró, an introvert, continued to devote himself exclusively to looking and creating. This painting belongs to a series of small works known as Constellations. In a Europe ravaged by war, a Spain ruled by a dictatorship, the series provided a lyrical escape. Human figures, animals, and stars emerged among dazzling and extravagant patterns. . With a four-generation legacy of designing and manufacturing tapestries in the fine French tradition, the Jules Pansu company joins forces with the Successio Miró and designs a cheerful collection, where each painting has been selected for the joy of life that it expresses, with its spectacular color range. Only works of art that can be perfectly woven and reproduced without distorting neither the force of colors nor the purity of lines were selected." explains Joan Punyet Miró, the painter "grandson.
