I didn't wanna post Zdzisław Beksiński bc I feel like its just karma farming lol. I'm not introducing people to anything particularly new or interesting. Even these paintings which I prefer are not ones I'd really wanna post.

Only reason ive posted this is bc it is widely loved

You would be surprised. There are a lot of people who stop at Giger and don’t realized there was a greater scene of surrealists

Yeah I've been surprised here lol
