Believable and impossible
Surrealist painting at larger scale achieves a persuasiveness that small pictures only hint at: spaces you could almost walk through even though they exist nowhere. Surrealist paintings for sale between 5,000 and 10,000 euro are sought for depth, detail and riddle.
The appeal lies in contradiction: a realism that looks hard and a content that fits nowhere. Shadows, reflections and textures are carefully painted, only the logic is off. The larger the canvas, the longer the eye can wander into the depth of the picture.

Oil and oil pastel
Many works arise in oil on canvas or oil paint, some combine them with oil pastel for soft, grainy passages. That mix produces moods between dream and reality.
Living with riddle pictures
Surreal paintings need quiet viewing and a clear line of sight. Do not hang them too high or too close to other pictures. Ask about varnish, signature and year of creation. Dimmed, warm light underlines the mood, whereas lighting that is too bright flattens the enigmatic.
