Surrealism has been dying since Dali's final touch. And today all we are left with is just word “surrealism” without anyone really understanding what it is. Surrealism cannot be fully understood by dispassionately viewing its artworks or other cultural byproducts. To understand, appreciate and benefit from surrealism, one must embrace its philosophy, practice its methods and fully accept it into one's life. Surrealism is not a style of art, but a way of life. I am not a surrealist artist, but a surrealist who happens to be an artist.
Many artists today call themselves surrealists, but what they do is actually abstract or pop art. My work is an example of true surrealism. Most of my art comes from my dreams, free of the conscious control of reason. I cannot explain what my creations are. All people see different meaning in my art. I'm a channel between dreams and reality. |
