We are closing week 33 of ART EXPLOSION, the theme this week was SURREAL. This is one of my favorite genres and the entries this week blew us away, they were beautifully dreamy and wild! We had a ridiculously hard time choosing the top winners as we had 25-30 open as our favorites and the process of elimination was physically painful :) I want to thank everyone who entered as the creativity is always so inspiring and makes me remember why I do these contests!
Our top winner this week is @artizm for this mind bending peg legged beauty, she wins 8 Steem!

In second place this week is @isakost! This image was so striking, they win 4 Steem!

Congratulations to all the winners and this post makes me always smile: it shows so much promise for the week, because the world is full of art. I think you have both chosen such a good variety of artworks, which highlight different aspects of "surrealism": The darkness, the incomprehensible, the dreamlike, the puzzling....
Thank you for hosting this.

That first picture still makes my mind exploded a little. I could stare at it for a while and still be taken back if I saw it in passing.
