Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s and encompassed all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

The surrealism of this work essentially draws on everyday life, but it is transfigured into a dreamlike and visionary dimension. In this case, a female figure is completely transformed into a structure composed of curved and sinuous rhythms. It is as if the woman merges with the artist's gestures to form a harmonious whole, shaped by the malleable nature of sand. The woman portrayed by this artist is the protagonist of a representation dense with symbolic meaning. The surreal dimension of the composition is also fueled by the work's decontextualized space, which is hinted at in an almost informal manner.

As we can appreciate from the analysis of this work, the artist starts from everyday life to transfigure it into a surreal vision full of symbolic suggestions of African ethnic flavour.
