Oil paintings often evoke strong emotions, especially within the realm of surrealism art, where reality blends with imagination. Artists utilize techniques like watercolors to create stunning visuals that captivate the viewer's mind and transport them to dreamlike landscapes.

"STARFISH PATH" is a captivating piece that showcases the beauty of oil paintings, blending elements of surrealism art with vibrant watercolors to create a dreamlike atmosphere.

"StarFish Path"

Flaming Tree nebula

Vibrant painting of a pink tree on a colorful landscape under a bright sky.

In the constellation of Orion, along the belt area is a beautiful red tree shape called the Flaming Tree. This striking feature is often depicted in oil paintings and surrealism art, as it serves as a focal point in works exploring themes like white holes, binary stars, and golden spiral pathways. The Red Tree stands out beautifully, much like vibrant watercolors on canvas.

...binary star emergence

Abstract sun with rays and petals in warm colors.

Most stars have a binary twin and follow separate orbits, but one day they closely circle to meet up (in a clandestine affair). When they do, a struggle ensues, and one star shines with all the light while the other takes on a darker red hue. This dark star needs to recharge to bloom again, and so the circle of life renews, much like the themes explored in surrealism art. In this cosmic scene, there are two light sources: one from the horizon and the other from the star in the forefront of the painting, reminiscent of vibrant oil paintings and delicate watercolors.

White Hole, StarFish, Sand Dollars

Abstract painting of a swirling whirlpool and starfish on a sandy shore.

The StarFish painting, a striking example of surrealism art, was dedicated to the tens of millions of starfish that washed ashore, pulled by the tides since 2010, and became trapped on the beach all at once. This phenomenon was observed particularly along the coasts of the UK, US, and CA. Many starfish died, swept away and scattered alongside sand dollars. Their fates serve as a constant reminder that physical life can end up as golden dust, reminiscent of the delicate beauty found in oil paintings and watercolors.

Oil paintings often evoke deep emotions, much like surrealism art, which challenges perceptions and reality. Additionally, the delicate touch of watercolors can create mesmerizing effects that complement the boldness of oil paintings and the dreamlike quality of surrealism art.

Surrealism

Representational surrealism art draws the viewer into a more meaningful creative state by using familiar objects and juxtaposing them with less likely matches to perhaps express something new.

My favorites include Remedios Varo, who resided in Mexico, and Dali, who was influential in Spain, impacting art, sculpture, and movies during his time. Rene Magritte’s work is still relevant today and continues to inspire.

I strive to achieve a depth of meaning with this two-dimensional form, much like the surrealists did, using techniques that include oil paintings and watercolors. ~ SR

A quote from Andre seems to sum it up:

'...an absolute reality, a surrealty'... Andre Breton, DaDa movement.

Many of the other paintings include oil landscapes, midnight scenes, or more familiar scenes crafted in acrylic, casein, and watercolors.

Close-up of a green bud on a red flower with sparkling details.

Galaxies have a center pistal (bar shape) stamen and pollen of star generations, which can resemble the small bloom in the cosmic garden, much like the vibrant oil paintings and surrealism art that depict these celestial wonders. The terms serve as a great metaphor for the unfolding universe, with one flowering nebula at a time, echoing the delicate strokes of watercolors that capture the essence of the cosmos.

Close-up painting of a vibrant red flower with detailed stamens.

I love this red. It is a paint called “Pyrrol Red“, a brilliant true red that cannot be captured on digital film, making it a must-see in person. This vibrant color would be stunning in oil paintings and adds depth to any surrealism art piece. It’s reminiscent of the hues found in exquisite watercolors, blending beautifully with the subject matter.

Red Shift:

Nebulas are torn by explosions that ripple out while renewing energy in the forming of stars. This concept relates to the term in astronomy that explains a distant star accelerating away from Earth.

Bold red petals swirling in surrealism art. Red in oil paintings actually jumps forward to the viewer, yet in the stars, it recedes, much like the delicate hues of watercolors.

...quasar heaven recycling

Artistic depiction of a hand holding a glowing orb against a dark background.

Quasar, a light heaven that inspires surrealism art, gives rise to light beings. Quasars are great attractors, much like the captivating oil paintings that draw us into their depths. Here it is ~ Immeasurable Heaven beyond even the Deep Field region in space, a realm that could be depicted beautifully in watercolors.

...streaming beings

Artistic depiction of sperm cells swimming against a dark background.

Drawn to the light, beings are fervently shedding their bodies to bath in the light streams, reminiscent of the ethereal qualities found in surrealism art and the fluidity of watercolors often depicted in oil paintings.

Abstract painting with swirling dark and light colors on canvas.

Pears is an early surrealism art piece I created, exemplifying the contrasts of dark space alongside the whitish yellow of pears. This oil painting showcases how composite nebulae resemble clouds that envelop the 'fruit', similar to the ethereal quality often found in watercolors.

Surrealism art can be fun when you juxtapose two different absurd ideas. This clip is about a recipe that compares sugar cubes, much like the squares in oil paintings, to the smooth pear floating out in space, reminiscent of vibrant watercolors.
