Op-sur is a new form of synthesized art, where innovative phenomena with the help of conceptual art exhibits, are mixed with surrealism. Images of real objects created with the effect of three-dimensional space: on the plane, in the ether or abstraction.

In op-surrealism, there are effects of spatial displacement, merging or "hovering" next to the created forms and various game transformations with visual illusions.

The viewer, succumbing to the persuasiveness of illusory painting, find themselves in another dimension of the images created, the realism of which is achieved with the help of three-dimensional objects.

The works evoke the most complex associations, similar as in the interpretation of works of surrealism, but can be identified in our perception with different emotions in weightlessness, and all this creates an image impossible in reality.

Representatives of op-surrealism can be considered some of the works of famous sculptors Matteo Pugliese, Michal Trpak, and digital artists Tullius Heullius Heuer, Simone Held, textile works Ana Teresa Barbosa, painting Istvan Sandorfi, Natalia Morozova.
