Who is your favorite Surrealist Artist and what is your favorite surreal painting
oh and WHY?
Mine is Octavio Ocampo. His paintings are simply AMAZING! His use if imagery is unique. When you look at his paintings up close they become something completly different!

i have two faves one is famous and dead
one is living and not so famous but is known.
ANYTHING by either artist pleases my eye a great deal
Salvador Dahli (the dead one)
Elizabeth Holian (australian)
and i find their works inspiring.
and i’ve kind of gotten to know Ms. Holian and believe her to be charming and funny as well as a fabulous artist.

Salvador Dali- Metamorphosis of Narcissus
Because i love the detailing on the hands, the way the fingers are cracked and the contrast between the golden hand and the blue-white hand. As well as the level of detail he went into. The background is incredibly detailed, it is the same with many of his other surrealist landscapes such as the melting clocks, the image might be strange but it looks realistic.
