SURREALISM
The theme “Surrealism” explores the imaginative and dreamlike realm of the subconscious mind. Artists are encouraged to create works that defy conventional reality, blending elements of fantasy, symbolism, and the unexpected. Surrealist art often features bizarre and fantastical imagery, with juxtaposed objects, distorted forms, and dreamlike landscapes. Participants may draw inspiration from their dreams, fantasies, and subconscious thoughts to create thought-provoking and visually captivating compositions. Surrealism challenges traditional notions of representation and invites viewers to explore the depths of the human psyche through unconventional and enigmatic imagery.
