Art with the courage to face World issues head on, creating unprecendented opportunities for dialog can help change world order. The planet has been spiraling into a dangerous period in our collective history.  Wars inspired by the highest profit margins and savage monopolistic capitalism feeding modern imperialism, results in radical terrorism born of  medieval societies using 21st century technology to combat these dictatorships.With a diverse population of billions, how can we  possibly create a state of a social equilibrium.  These factors drive the Contemporary Surrealist movement. Art has the capacity to open up these wounds, face them head on by offering fresh perspectives and soultions to addressWorld trauma.

The re-imagined fiction behind the dreams of the beautiful, presents lyrical meaning of surrealism inserting the hope of a new life.Giving new hope and considerations where the colours interact with the “blue thinking”, while opposing the “dark thinking”.

Images of Flying in a dream implies freedom and possibilities through fantasy.The wings spread and the embracing arms stretch wide,  flying through the buildings, mountains and valleys, sea and rivers.

Understanding surrealism of the 20th and  21st century opens our awareness to an absolute freedom

So the dream, the creative and ideological freedom and courage of the artists combined with the modern advent of the internet broad inserts the surrealistic art of 21st century and its insightful psychological meaning into the World.
