Surrealism

Surrealism is an artistic movement that emerged in the early 20th century, offering a unique blend of reality with elements of dream, fantasy, and unconscious mental processes. The "Surrealism" category in the painting gallery includes works that:

They connect the world of reality with dreams: Artistic compositions often combine realistic and fantastic elements, creating surprising, non-obvious images that provoke reflection on the boundaries between reality and dreams.
They explore the depths of the unconscious: Surrealists were inspired by psychoanalytic theories, especially Freud's concepts, which resulted in symbols and metaphors expressing hidden emotions and desires.
They surprise with their composition and form: Surrealist paintings often present unconventional combinations of objects, bizarre spaces, and sudden changes in perspective, which introduce the viewer to a state of surprise and delight.
They push the boundaries of logic: These works deliberately break the rules of traditional logic and aesthetics, allowing for the free exploration of ideas of limitless imagination.

Among the most important representatives of Surrealism are Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, and Max Ernst, whose works have become icons of this movement. The "Surrealism" category in the gallery is not only a collection of incredibly intriguing paintings but also an invitation to enter a world where the boundaries between dream and reality are fluid, and each image can hold the key to discovering the hidden recesses of the human psyche.
