In painting, the existing that represents the fantastic is called surrealism. It is an artistic existing, which emerged in Europe after the First World War, whose purpose is to explore the unconscious mind, celebrating the virtues of the irrational. Surrealistic painting is meant to trigger nervousness, to frighten through a strange feeling that reveals the unexpected.

Taking into consideration that the fantastic image, which is the effect of dream and reality, is more relevant than the extraordinary reality, surrealistic painters look for unconsidered connections between real things, which they produce in a realistic manner. However, the whole work does not belong any more to the reality, but to a rambling imaginary world.

Surrealism proves to be the most representative existing that comprehends the fantastic in its complete form. The mysteries that plastic artists try to represent, especially painting - part of arts that can reflect the most evidently the mystery of the artist - will be presented through intertwining of crowded networks of images and analogies. They will try therefore to capture the depths and the enigmas of the reality in its plenitude and in the misty shapes, exploring all the facets of the real world.
