Not my artwork, let us clarify that right now. The pieces you will find here are surrealist paintings. I discovered Surrealism as early as grade school, when I saw a reproduction of "Mama, Papa Is Wounded" in an encyclopedia. I fell in love with it ever since. Don't ask me why. As with all notions of beauty, I cannot explain why I'm attracted to these seemingly meaningless images. But remember: surrealism is about dreams, and dreams are hardly logical.
All pictures were lifted from the 2002 version of Microsoft Encarta CD-ROM.
