"C'est dans la sculpture que je créerai un monde véritablement fantasmagorique, de monstres vivants [...]
Que ma sculpture se confonde avec des éléments de la nature, arbres, rochers, racines, montagnes, plantes, fleurs – faire un atelier en pleine campagne, très spacieux, que la façade se confonde avec la terre, surtout pas blanche et de temps en temps sortir mes sculptures à l'air libre, qu'elles se fondent avec la nature."
Joan Miró, cité in Margit Rowell, Joan Miró. Écrits et entretiens, 1995, p. 192
