Dona i Ocell (Woman and Bird) is a monumental sculpture in concrete and ceramic in Parc de Joan Miró. Created by Joan Miró in collaboration with the ceramic artist Joan Gardy Artigas, it brings together a female figure and a bird, two recurring symbols in his work. Standing 22 metres high and covered in trencadís (broken tile mosaic) and vivid colours, it suggests a connection between earth and sky. Its organic forms and scale invite pause and contemplation.

Head over to the artificial pond. The sculpture was designed to be reflected in the water, doubling its colour and visual impact.
