Most often, surrealism is perceived as a somewhat dark and gloomy world, where we encounter something incomprehensible, extravagant, and sometimes even hostile and dangerous. However, in the works of Vitaly Glovatsky, the surreal takes on not only an optimistic but also a fairy-tale character, to which the word "fantastical" applies. His works are very interesting and beautiful. They remind one of the forgotten steampunk style. This style is very beautiful and distinguished by its uniqueness and a certain antiquity. Steampunk, in essence, is a style of mechanical devices, a kind of chaos, things that operate without modern fuel that so pollutes the environment. The author's works closely resemble the style used in the new game Alice in Wonderland, which actively employs the steampunk aesthetic. Most likely, like many before him, the author tried to convey through his paintings a societal need to cleanse the planet of harmful emissions, as well as unnecessary expenditures.
