Depth on stretched weave
A surrealist motif on canvas feels like a window into a room that exists only in the picture. If you want surrealist oil on canvas for sale, you often decide by the feeling a picture triggers at first sight.
Canvas allows large, wide-open skies and long perspectives. Oil on top can be built up in many thin layers until horizons begin to shimmer. The slight gloss strengthens the impression of haze and depth. If you choose a motif that still shows new details after months, you will stay loyal to the picture longer.

Hanging and lighting
A dark room and a directed spot turn a dream image into a stage. Avoid flat ceiling light, which takes the depth out of glazes. A picture lamp or side light is often enough. Verticals feel like doors, horizontals like panoramas.
Check before buying
Ask about stretcher, varnish and signature. Detail photos of the edges show whether the paint runs to the border and whether the picture can hang without a frame.
