Old technique, strange world
Surrealism liked to reach for the old technique because it gives the impossible clarity. Anyone seeking surreal tempera paintings for sale wants pictures in which dream scenes are painted with the precision of the Renaissance.
Tempera allows the finest lines and clear colors that do not flow into each other. That suits scenes in which things stand together differently from how they should. Brightly lit landscapes, hyper-sharp objects and quiet shadows are typical.

Studying the details
Take time for the details. Surreal tempera rewards long looking with small surprises: an eye in the rock, a second sun, a table in the water. Ask for a detail shot if you want to judge the brushwork.
Linking technique and price
Anyone seeking connections with other techniques will find acrylic on canvas. Larger formats are found under 2,000 to 5,000 euro. What matters are the firm support and the question of how the picture was stored.
