Everyone is creative. We all dream and wish and hope. Some of us are great at tapping into that part of our mind to create works of art, while others struggle a bit more to discover their own creativity. In the 20th-century there was an intentional movement to release the creative potential of the unconscious mind. We call this movement surrealism, and one of the most acclaimed artists was Joan Miro.
