Modern surrealists build upon the stylistic elements of the Surrealist art movement that emerged around a century ago with figures like Max Ernst. This style was subsequently significantly shaped by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Miró, Miller, Kahlo, and Magritte.

Younger and contemporary surrealists have succeeded—and continue to succeed—in capturing the spirit of the times and interpreting our dreams:

Franz Anatol Wyss His aquatint etchings from the late 1960s anticipated the relationship between humans and machines—a theme more relevant today than ever.

Paul Cartier A renowned artist from Zurich who evolved from a skilled craftsman into an artist.

Corinna Mayer An artist from Frankfurt am Main who bridges the Renaissance, the 1960s, and the modern era. Her oil paintings often feature (...) figures that allow viewers to project their own ideas and imaginings onto them. Reminiscent of collages, these images—where motifs, gestures, poses, and figures from vastly different contexts and eras converge—open up new dimensions of time and space. They offer a glimpse into the complex inner world of the human being, a realm where the conscious and unconscious, lived experience and dreams, and past and present meet to form a new reality.

Her drawings (...) offer viewers a glimpse into the imagined inner worlds of the subjects. The figures gaze inquiringly at the viewer or reveal something of their own thoughts and emotions."

Corinna Mayer’s drawings and paintings draw strong inspiration from the fashion and music of the 1960s.
