Abstract
The painting titled 'Waterfall' is an exemplary piece of Surrealism, where reality is warped to create provocative, thought-provoking imagery. The piece features intricate details which are masterfully drafted to provoke an ethereal and otherworldly feeling. This skillful distortion of reality makes the viewer question the limits of their perception, hallmarks of Surrealistic art. Painted on a Canvas using vibrant Oil colors, the fluidity of the waterfall is vividly brought to life. Although primarily surrealistic, some elements of Abstract art are noticeable, in the unusual color palette and depiction of the waterfall itself.
