Surrealism artwork (task)

I came up with something that born from my mind. I did not follow any realism because surrealism is all about anything apart from real life.

Technique used: decalcomania, transfer texture through print-making, collage
Materials: stem, tree bark, stone, leaf, tissue, poster colour, plastic, A2 paper

Figure 18: Finished work (Riding on a sea creature)

I used different textures and collected everything to produce this. I used blue and purple to give a harmony feeling. Red and orange of body of the sea creature is contrasted with blue to make it stand out from surrounding. The sea creature has a snake like body, tail of lion, chicken head, and swimming in ocean. Two people are drawn using hand, to show they are sitting on the sea creature and riding on it. In reality, no one can ride on a sea creature like that, because such thing dont exist. So, surrealism is totally all about dream-state like, fantasy and imagination. Imagination unlocks the creativity of a person.
