Sometimes reality feels so strange that it’s hard to find the right words.

That’s exactly why surreal art resonates so much—capturing a mood or a moment better than language ever could.

These surreal illustrations by Gints Apsits that beautifully (and sometimes unsettlingly) reflect the chaos of modern life.

Blending dreamlike imagery with sharp commentary, these artworks manage to tap into emotions you might not even realize you’ve been feeling.

Whether it’s capturing the absurdity of the military industrial complex or quietly questioning the things we accept as normal, these pieces speak volumes without uttering a single word.

Take your time scrolling through. You might see your own thoughts mirrored back, or maybe you’ll discover something entirely new hidden within the madness.
