Joan Miró often included owls in his works, drawn to their symbolism of wisdom, mystery, and nocturnal vigilance. A notable example is "L'Oiseau et la chouette"(1973), which showcases Miró's fascination with birds and other fantastic or symbolic animals. This work combines a bird and an owl, two recurring figures in his creative universe, illustrating the balance between heaven and earth, day and night.
Owls also appear in some of his sculptures, such as "Chouette" (1968), a bronze piece that reaffirms his exploration of form and symbol.

The connection between "Chouette Verte" and the town of Albi, in France, is that this work was created by Joan Miró as part of a special project for the Toulouse-Lautrec Museum, located in the city. Albi hosted an exhibition of Miró in 1981, and as a gesture of gratitude, the artist created several lithographs, including "Chouette Verte", specifically for this occasion.
This bond established a cultural relationship between the museum and the artist, contributing to Miró leaving a significant mark on the town of Albi.
