How to recognize a surrealist painting?
Surrealism seeks to go beyond ordinary logic. It brings together incompatible elements, transforms landscapes into mental spaces and gives visible form to dreams, fears and free associations.
Dream and unconscious
Images seem to arise from a sleep, a memory or a thought that escapes reason.
Unexpected encounters
Familiar objects, bodies, animals and architectures are brought together in impossible combinations.
Enigmatic spaces
Deserts, rooms, horizons and mental landscapes create a silent or disturbing atmosphere.
Personal symbols
Each artist constructs their own language of signs, metamorphoses and recurring figures.

Symbolism, Dadaism and surrealism
Surrealism inherits symbolist visions and the Dadaist rupture, then transforms this research into a method of exploring dreams and the unconscious.
Symbolism
Myths, visions, spirituality and secret images prepare a painting that is no longer limited to the visible world.
Explore symbolism →Dadaism
Chance, provocation and diversion call into question the rules of the art and open the way to free associations.
Discover Dadaism →Surrealism
The unconscious, automatism and impossible connections become the engine of new images.

Frequently asked questions
Before ordering
The essential answers on the technique, artists, format and validation of your reproduction.
Are the paintings printed?
No. Each reproduction is hand painted in oil on canvas.
Why are certain artists presented as precursors or associates?
Surrealism was nourished by symbolism, Dadaism and several personal universes. The page therefore distinguishes the movement itself from its influences and its extensions.
Can I choose another dimension?
Yes. The format can be adapted respecting the proportions of the work or according to a crop validated with you.
Will I receive a photo before sending?
Yes. Control photos are sent before shipping and touch-ups can be requested.
Can I order a work not in the catalog?
Yes, provided the artist respects the store's rights policy. Send the title, artist or visual reference from the contact page.
What frame is suitable for surrealist painting?
A dark, thin setting reinforces the mysterious atmosphere. A natural or unadorned wooden frame gives a more contemporary presentation.
