This unique piece by Joan Miró, created in 1949, is a powerful example of the artist's mature visual language, blending gesture, symbolism, and radical experimentation. Executed in black ink on crumpled paper, the piece embodies both material expressiveness and a vocabulary of signs that evoke a dreamlike, primal universe.

The choice of support-intentionally wrinkled paper-reflects Miró's desire to break free from academic formats, exploring surface textures and spontaneity. At the center, a gestural ink explosion is surrounded by mysterious forms, resembling ancient scripts, totemic figures, and cosmic glyphs. This dynamic between controlled composition and intuitive freedom captures the essence of Miró's post-war phase.

Created during a period when the artist embraced greater abstraction and physicality, the work is deeply rooted in European avant-garde movements and echoes influences from Surrealism and Art Informel. It is a vivid example of Miró's pursuit of poetic, subconscious-driven mark-making and his continued defiance of artistic conventions.

Highly collectible, this drawing stands out as an exceptional opportunity for collectors of modern art, works on paper, and original Joan Miró artworks. It represents a bold and rare expression of the artist's visual language in the late 1940s-a crucial decade in his career.
