Surrealism is the most important and rebellious movement of the 20th century in art and literature. Surrealism suggests access to the subconscious mind and release creative potential by translating the flow of thoughts into images.

There is no strict definition or set of rules for Surrealism. However, there are three major elements of the Surrealism can help it understand better:

1. The creation of a bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind.

2. Disregard of artistic convention to create something new and strange.

3. Work that is designed to unsettle the audience and make them ask tough questions.

In 1978 British artist Conroy Maddox said the following about Surrealism: “No other movement has had more to say about the human condition, or has so determinedly put liberty, both poetic and political, above all else.”
