About the artist

Leonora Carrington's legacy is one of artistic rebellion, otherworldly visions, and a deep connection to the subconscious. As one of the few female voices in the surrealist movement, she challenged norms and gender roles while offering an alternative perspective to the dreamscapes of Salvador Dalí and René Magritte. Carrington's journey from Europe to Mexico and her rich body of work continue to captivate art enthusiasts, igniting the flame of imagination and the realms beyond the ordinary.
