Surrealism and the Mexican Day of the Dead share a natural connection, blending themes of life, death, and the mystical. Surrealism, an artistic movement that explores the unconscious mind, dreamscapes, and irrationality, resonates with the vibrant and spiritual aspects of Día de los Muertos, where the boundaries between life and death blur, and the spirit world is celebrated. The combination of Día de los Muertos and surrealism creates a space where death is reimagined as a celebration, transcending the ordinary and diving into the subconscious, mystical realms.

I live in Melbourne, the capital city of the state of Victoria in Australia - the land down under. I used to work in IT and electronic engineering but I now play around fulltime with photography and travel. My main areas of interest are in landscapes, cityscapes, seascapes and street photography. I occasionally dabble in other areas when the opportunity arises. My other interest is in creative or fine art photography.
