About the work
"Bird Brain" delves into the mystical realm where the spirit world intertwines with human consciousness. The artwork portrays an otherworldly bird, its graceful, human-like limbs reaching towards the head of a figure, suggesting the profound influence of ethereal entities on the mortal mind.
The painting's celestial orbs and the smoky atmosphere serve as a backdrop for this intimate interaction, illustrating the vast and often unseen forces that impact our thoughts and actions. The bird, a symbol of spiritual presence, appears to guide or perhaps even manipulate the human element, challenging the viewer to consider the unseen guidance in their own lives.
Amidst this exchange, the table of candles and crystals could represent the rituals and energies that draw such spirits close, a nod to the delicate balance between the material and the metaphysical.

Creative Process

Surrealium's art begins with traditional sketching and painting, blending timeless techniques with cutting-edge innovation. Some pieces evolve digitally, undergoing multiple stages of AI iterations, generative technologies, and detailed digital brushing, coloring, and retouching to achieve a perfect balance of creativity and precision. Each artwork is like a process of mining the aether, undergoing an average of 4,000 AI enhanced iterations before reaching its final form.
The final artwork is printed on Hahnemühle 100% cotton archival paper, regarded as the gold standard in fine art printing. Using the finest archival inks, we capture every detail, texture, and color with unparalleled fidelity, creating prints that are sophisticated, durable, and timeless.
