Unknown Author - Woman's Face

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing 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 artist behind this work faithfully draws on the historical avant-garde, and on Salvador Dalí in particular. Indeed, like the Catalan master, this composition is the result of a mix of free associations, just as in a dream. In particular, the work seems to reference Dalí's paintings in which landscape elements blend with those of a face, creating an ambiguous and mysterious juxtaposition. Formally, too, the artist consistently follows the Surrealist school, paradoxically rendering his vision concrete. The objects are treated with a brilliant hyperrealism that enhances their plasticity, and there is obsessive attention to detail. They are inserted into a spatial box constructed in an excessively illusory manner.

As we can see from the analysis of this work, the artist who created it draws on historical surrealism and, in particular, on the figure of Salvador Dalí in the choice of subjects and in the formal rendering achieved through a good hyperrealist technique.
