Quote:Remedios Varo (1908-1963) was a 20th-century Surrealist painter. Born in Spain, she was forced to move to France and Mexico to escape the Spanish Civil War and World War II. However, it also allowed her to meet the Surrealists, such as Benjamin Péret and Leonora Carrington. One can never be sure what is happening in her paintings; there is always a sense of mystery. Her works are a window to a fantastical and enigmatic world full of magical creatures.
One of her artworks, "Creation of the Birds":
