OVERVIEW

In this project, I used AI to reimagine my favorite surrealist paintings, bringing them to life as if they existed in reality.

By merging technology with art, I wanted to explore what these dreamlike, imaginative worlds might look like if they stepped out of the canvas and into our everyday reality. The result is a collection of surreal masterpieces transformed into hyperrealistic visions, blurring the boundary between imagination and existence.
