-for the ones that love art, surrealism and Remedios Varo...(that is me and my friends:P. Wanna be one?)

Born in 1908, Angles Cataluna Spain. Died 1963, Mexico City.

Remedios Varo is probably one least known of the great Surrealist painters, even though she is rumored to have taken classes together with Salvador Dali. Her presentation of dreams, imagery and symbolism has a unique style all its own, entirely fantastic, yet still full of subtle wit and enigma.
In 1942 she moved to Mexico City with her husband, Benjamin Peret, to escape the nazi occupation of France. It was in Mexico that she painted many of her finest works.
