#art, Expressionism…Surrealism

(Unfinished portrait of Pino by Francisco Bravo Cabrera/All Rights Reserved)

Expressionism, but with a touch of surrealism equals «Surreal-Expressionism»…

Well, more or less. Expressionists look to create nature with their paintings. Not to paint the natural world, or people, as they are but to create them through their work. The surrealists looked to go beyond the limits of reality and produce a world better suited for dreams. So the mixture of the two should then be an oneiric world as seen through the eyes of the expressionist artist creating it. And that is accurate but not complete…

Surreal-Expressionism is the creation of art that symbolises reality and at the same time creates it.

The painting above (unfinished) is «Portrait of Pino the Drummer». It is done with acrylic on canvas and measures 70 X 140 centimetres. Available soon at Omnia Caelum Studios Valencia. For more information contact:

    1. Thank you Ashley… well, he seems to have a fan base somewhere, perhaps in the surrealistic dreams of able drummers from other domains… 😉

    Wow! The man with the marvelous mustache has swept me off my feet!

    I appreciate the notes on the expressionists and surrealist styles. It’s been a while since the art appreciation course in college. 🙂
