Dream-Inspired Paintings

These Paintings Represent Scenes Only Possible in the Imagination

For children and adults alike, only dreams offer a surreal escape from reality in which most things are possible -- these dream-inspired paintings aim to replicate that effect.

The paintings are created by the French artist Eric Roux-Fontaine, who creates another world with nothing but brushstrokes. His paintings include men free-falling into beautiful landscapes, an enchanted forest with floating orbs of light, people swinging on theme park rides in front of the moon, a man standing in a library amidst a pool of water and a person standing atop the surface of the moon and releasing shards of light and color into the moon's atmosphere.

These beautiful surreal paintings perfectly capture a dream-inspired world that only exists in people's imaginations.
