Daily Prompt: Surreal – 👁Warning – Pictures may be disturbing👁

I admit I don’t know much about art. I beg off on the “I know what I like” saying. I’ve been to art museums in Houston and Denver and the surrealists are not my favorite. However, I found this rendition by a young artist and the only comment I offer is, “so that’s why I can’t sleep at night!”

“Sebastian Eriksson is an 18-year-old up and coming surrealist artist living in Sweden. Not only is his artwork amazing, it’s thought-provoking as he adds descriptions of how his pieces relate to his life.”

For instance, in the piece above, he states: “This is another paradox that I’ve been working on for a couple of days. It describes a person with psychological problems such as schizophrenia, insanity, depression or other mental problems. His endless screaming makes his own mind eat him up. I have periods in my life where I feel like this. I wanted to make an illustration of my thoughts and my pain within.”
