"My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable."~Rene Magritte"Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision."~Salvador Dali "To be a surrealist means barring from your mind all remembrance of what you have seen, and being always on the lookout for what has never been. "~Rene Magritte"Instead of stubbornly attempting to use surrealism for purposes of subversion, it is necessary to try to make of surrealism something as solid, complete and classic as the works of museums. "~Salvador Dali"Painting is a need, not a choice"~Leonora CarringtonThis channel was made to show fabulous and magical works of artists such as Leonora Carrington,René Magritte or Salvador Dali...Not only surreal art can be found here,I also add retrospectives of paintings that represent other art movements (Baroque art,Realism etc.)Above all,classical music and some of my favourite film and game soundtracks are the things I would like to share with others.
