By Aquarium 1961

"By Aquarium" (1961) is a surrealist painting by the Mexican artist Remedios Varo. The work depicts a woman, possibly a witch, with an ethereal, translucent body, and a small child, riding on a fantastical bicycle through a forest. The woman's head is obscured by a cloud-like object, hinting at her otherworldly nature. The child's downcast eyes and the overall dreamlike atmosphere evoke a sense of mystery and ambiguity, characteristic of Varo's surrealist style. The work is rich in symbolic details, inviting the viewer to delve into its enigmatic narrative.
