Abstract
The article presents a Spanish artist, Remedios Varo. Although her artistic output usually remains on the margins of the analysis of surrealism, presence of this trend may be demonstrated not only in her paintings surrounded by the aura of uniqueness, but also in certain episodes from her life. Not only did the artist surround herself with surrealists, create paintings in which she contrasted people and objects in a surprising and impossible way, but she also took part in fantastic undertakings, such as a failed expedition made to find gold in the Orinoco waters. Also her fascination with the works of past masters (Bosch or El Greco) are understandable, as she was strongly rooted in the surrealist worldview and aesthetics. In her case, we may just say that being an artist-surrealist is not only a way of painting, but a way of living.
