Dona i Ocel, Public art sculpture in Parc de Joan Miró, Barcelona, Spain
The concrete and ceramic sculpture rises 20 meters tall, featuring geometric shapes decorated with colorful tiles in the middle of green spaces.
Joan Miró and Joan Gardy Artigas collaborated to create this monumental structure in 1983 as part of a trilogy welcoming visitors to Barcelona.
The name translates to Woman and Bird, representing recurring elements in Miró's artwork through abstract forms and Mediterranean color patterns.
The sculpture stands near an artificial lake within the four-block park, accessible through multiple public transportation options near Plaça d'Espanya.
The ceramic tiles covering the concrete surface create different visual effects as sunlight moves across the 5.29-meter diameter structure throughout the day.
