Surrealism is an art form seen by different eyes in multiple ways from the eye of the mind. Either one sees or does not see . . . what is important for me is the level of freedom of creativity with these eyes. The eyes can see, the ears can hear, but surrealism is a dimension.
The couple is a representation inspired by observing the anatomy of the composition on a tree trunk to create my personage. It makes me feel like I am carving without a chisel in my hand. I am carving with my mind by using the bark and the wood as a medium. The source of inspiration will never finish as long as new ideas, new thoughts, and new ways of looking at things keep giving a boost to the flow of creativity that no one has a monopoly on.
