The Souls of the Mountain 1938

"The Souls of the Mountain" (1938) by Remedios Varo depicts a surreal landscape with tall, columnar formations that resemble both mountains and human figures. The figures are partially obscured by a hazy, ethereal atmosphere, adding to the dreamlike quality of the scene. Varo, a Surrealist artist known for her intricate symbolism, created this work in Mexico, a place that greatly influenced her artistic vision. The painting evokes a sense of mystery and the unknown, inviting viewers to contemplate the connection between the natural world and the human psyche.
