Surrealist oil paintings look like photos. What's the point of drawing like this? Photographs can never be confused with paintings. If you tell a senior painter that what you paint is beautiful and looks like a photo, this statement is actually denigrating and belittling a painter's strength. There are essential differences between photos and surrealist paintings. Machines have no feelings, but people have feelings.

The significance of surreal painting lies in making the photos less rigid and making what the painter wants to keep more pure, that is to say, the painter can express his views through his own subjective ideas and reflect them on the screen. Although photography can also reflect this feature to a certain extent, the tools and media used by the two are completely different in production efficiency. Therefore, objects are given different values, and the time cost of making a work in one second is different from that of painstakingly painting something for one year. The significance of surrealist painting lies in cultivating one's own sentiment. Let time slow down and let some impetuous things stay away from themselves. At the same time, painting brings people aesthetic improvement and vision change. If you don't learn to draw, some things will not be discovered, just like the beauty in life, which most people can't notice and value.

Surrealism oil painting is to let people learn to observe beauty, discover beauty, feel beauty in life, the most authentic beauty in the material world. Speaking of which, do you still think these surrealism are meaningless? Then you are all wet. No matter from the angle of art or history, painting has an indelible effect on human beings. Humanism that promotes history is expressed through painting. Both the Renaissance and the Enlightenment inspired people to know the world, science, respect and know themselves through painting. This is the meaning of painting to history. Coupled with the significance of painting to people themselves, we can clearly know that painting; Surrealism, impressionism and otherism all play an important role in human development.
