The exhibition “ Hand in hand with Miro ” presents artwork by children 5 to 13 years old created during three and eight month long workshops organized by the Museum in its premises along with 2 authentic, colour lithos graciously offered by the Teriade Museum – Library in Lesbos.

Children were given the opportunity to view works of art by the great masters, to comment and assimilate a number of his symbols. In the manner of Miro, children made use of powerful outlines, bright, strong colours creating unusual human figures, strange animal forms, and imaginative spaces.

Walking on edge between dreams and reality, children played with drawing materials, they elaborated designs of the artist combining in one image elements of his works with those of their own imagination.

Children regarded Miro as an artist of infinite shapes, innumerable symbols, as an artist immerged in colours but above all as someone floating in the world of dreams.

 

The exhibition is presented under the auspices of the Spanish Embassy in Athens and with the support of the Cervantes Institute.
