I'm a big fan of surrealism so was pleased to come across this artist who depicts cats in a surreal way. This painting is "Cats Paradise" by Remedios Varo.
"Remedios Varo Uranga was one of the few acknowledged female surrealist painter," according to her WikiArts entry. "She combined mystical beings and utopic machines together to give birth to her unique and enchanting style. The artist adopted mysticism and the occult as her main theme, and dismissed Christian and religious symbolism"
Varo used cats and cat-like creatures in many of her paintings. What they symbolize is open to interpretation. To me, the cats are happy and relaxed in their own little world. The kittens are having a blast playing with the string toy and you just know that long tower ramp is a hit with all of them too.
What do you think? Does this painting speak to you? Or many your cats enjoys viewing it and can share their thoughts?
