A book Project by The Surreal Arts club and the International imaginative Artists association(IIAA) in cooperation with nEgoist



In line with the celebration of the surreal Arts Club's 5th anniversary, the Surreal Arts, IIAA and nEgoist are proud to announce the launch of the first Contemporary Surrealist Book Collective of this Millenium with a limited edition Book entitled:





The book aims to show the variety of contemporary surreal art including 100 works in different media: traditional painting and drawing, digital painting, fractals, photomanipulation, photography, mixed media, sculpture, traditional prints, and more.

The collection will be classified in 3 groups: Visions, Dreams and Nightmares, all this mental manifestation has been the source of inspiration for this revolutionary movement since the 1920s.

The mind gates are open to explore the deepest of the subconscious in this visual dialogue with the “other”, in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought.
