Agostino Arrivabene

Italian traditional painter Agostino Arrivabene's work is technically amazing and deeply moving. His work is like a disturbing surreal dream, one that is already slipping back into our subconscious. Like those startling moments just as you wake and remember only fleeting fragments of your dreaming, during which we the viewer are suspended between one reality and the other.

"I would like to stress the fact that my visionary vein stems from a mystical research: in my experience visions have always a mystical background, they are a strong communication line with the eternal, the mysterious and the infinity above us. As a man, I prefer to think of myself as a shaman, who throws prophecies to the world, who discloses messages and images concealing higher and wider meanings. At first these can be quite obscure even to myself, but as time goes by or through the sequence of works to come, they show their meaning." Agostino Arrivabene

Dino Valls

Spanish traditional surrealist painter Dino Valls work is disturbing and innocently beautiful.  He captures such emotion in the eyes of his subjects, as they gaze out pleadingly at the viewer.  His highly symbolic work is influenced by past masters with an intriguing dark subtext.

Erik Thor Sandberg


Erik Thor Sandberg is a US surrealist painter whose content is both bizarre and ironic, quirky and fun. His mostly female figures engage with their environment, each other or animals in most unusual ways to create wonderful surreal environments and moods.

Erik creates realistic, surreal works of art with a style reminiscent of early Flemish painters. The content of Sandberg’s contemporary paintings include a morose use of imagery to illustrate a struggle of moral concepts and narratives. http://artattacksonline.com/2011/12/erik-thor-sandberg-2/
