Rene Magritte said about his work that his paintings are "not sleeping dreams, but awakening dreams." The work of the famous Belgian surrealist artist has become a source of inspiration for the modern Moscow master, Andrey Ferez, whose drawings also arouse a keen interest in the viewer and provide an opportunity to look into a fascinating fantasy world.
On the site Kulturologiya. RF, we wrote about a whole galaxy of Russian artists who are not averse to breaking the boundaries of the possible and presenting the viewer with one of the options for an alternative reality. In particular, these are such masters as Artem Chebokha and Alexey Andreev. Andrey Ferez is also an extraordinary personality. In his artistic world, the techniques of personification, exaggeration and metaphorization are often used.
If you look closely, the urban architecture in the paintings of Andrei Ferez acquires animated features, images of hands and faces appear through dilapidated houses. Or, on the contrary, everyday things become part of buildings, as, for example, a giant typewriter grows into a Gothic cathedral. Of course, in reality all this does not exist, but the oxymoric combination itself gives rise to a chain of thoughts and associations in us.
The artist, who signs his work with the pseudonym 25kartinok, says that his interest in painting arose in him in early childhood. Parents-physicists were surprised that their son did not follow in their footsteps, but decided to become a "lyricist", to devote himself to drawing, but the talented guy managed to convince them that he did not intend to give up his hobby. Today Andrey Ferez has gained fame as an original and extraordinary master, over the years he has mastered about 30 graphic programs and prefers Modo and Zbrash, and also draws in Photoshop.
You can find more works of the talented master on his personal website.

Moscow's dirty trucks became canvases for surreal drawings
Every car owner at least once faced the fact that his dirty car became the object of vandalism. Who hasn't seen the classic "wash me" or something even more interesting in their dirty car? For Moscow artist Nikita Golubev, dirty cars have become canvases. Blank canvases awaiting the touch of a master's hand to be transformed into incredibly beautiful, surreal works of art. What a pity that all of them are ultimately destined to be covered with a new layer of g
The artist transfers the heroes of classical paintings to ironic surreal collages
Oleksiy Kondakov is a Ukrainian digital artist who skillfully integrates the heroes of classical paintings into modern scenes filmed on the streets of cities. He places figures from famous medieval paintings in the metro, markets, cars and many other places familiar to us, but rather unusual for the characters of ancient salon paintings. Alexey's works create an interesting contrast between the subtle and expressive art of the Renaissance and the sometimes dull and boring scenes of everyday life
Surreal drawings by Denis Dubois
Salvador Dali has an aphorism that conveys the whole essence of surreal art: "Normality baffles me." The works of the French illustrator, artist and collage artist Denis Dubois do not sin at all with "normality", since they are created in the aesthetics of absurdity and alogism
Not an entrance, but a gallery of contemporary art: unusual drawings by the Moscow self-taught artist Dmitry Bochkarev
Who among us does not remember the legendary address "3rd Stroiteley Street, 25, Apartment 12"? The story of how Zhenya Lukashin confused the St. Petersburg and Moscow apartment on New Year's Eve, not seeing the difference in faceless high-rise buildings, is known throughout the post-Soviet space. But if we were talking about a Moscow house in which the artist Dmitry Bochkarev lives, then such a curiosity would clearly not have happened. Our compatriot creatively approached the process of "ennobling" his entrance and turned it into a bad one
