Style in which world-renowned artist Rob Gonsalves draws, some call surrealism. His painting is always a magical union of invisible metamorphosis flow of objects from one incarnation to another, ad if the artist suggests to us – everyone in the world is interconnected.

A central place in his paintings takes creative architecture, only now he builds illusions. A mixture of Dali, Magritte and Escher – thus can be described the painting of Rob Gonsalves.
