Surrealism is most often perceived as a somewhat dark and gloomy world, where we encounter something incomprehensible, ornate, and at times even hostile and dangerous. However, in the works of Vitaly Glovatsky, surrealism acquires not only an optimistic but even a fairy-tale quality, to which the word 'fantastical' is perfectly applicable. These works are very interesting and beautiful, reminiscent of the long-forgotten steampunk style. This style is beautiful, characterized by its uniqueness and a certain sense of antiquity. Steampunk, in principle, is a style of clockwork mechanisms, a certain chaos of things operating without modern fuels that so pollute the environment. The artist's works strongly resemble the style used in the new game Alice in Wonderland, where steampunk is actively employed. Most likely, the author, like many before him, aimed through his paintings to communicate to society the need to cleanse our planet of harmful exhaust gases and unnecessary waste.

Holovatsky Vitaliy
Description
Surrealist artist Vitaly Golovatsky was born in 1952. In 1989, he graduated from the Moscow State Academic Art School named after the year 1905. He worked in the field of graphic design for interiors. After 1995, he completely switched to easel painting. He constantly participates in exhibitions at the "Russian Cultural Center" gallery in Vienna and the "Mobil-Art" gallery in London. The artist's works are in private collections in Russia, England, Austria, Germany, France, and other countries. Speaking of stylistic characteristics, his artwork definitely includes a mix of surrealism, op-art (optical illusions in the style of Maurits Escher), a bit of symbolism, and retro-steampunk (in images of machines and constructions). The artist's works are presented in three groups of images, the first of which are Mauritz-Esher architectural motifs - references to the Dutch graphic artist. In Vitaly Golovatsky's works, motifs of not only Maurits Escher, but also clear traces of "Hunters in the Snow" by Peter Bruegel the Elder can be seen. The second group of works by V. Golovatsky is dedicated to architectural teapots. The third group of the artist's works is dedicated to fantastic means of transportation, executed in the steampunk style, and intended for movement on land, in water, and in the air.
