Life is Surreal:
Learning the Art of Surrealistic Portraiture
Dive deep into surrealism through this comprehensive 9-module course with
over 6 hours of content divided into more than 30 video lessons.
Unlocking imagination through surrealist exploration
Have you ever wanted to express yourself as an artist but felt unsure how to tap into your imagination?
Surrealist art isn’t about rules or perfection — it’s about
FREEDOM, DISCOVERY, and PLAY.
That’s why this course is designed to give you structure, guidance, and the confidence to bring your inner world to life.
It’s for anyone who loves creativity but feels blocked, intimidated, or unsure where to begin. Maybe you’ve told yourself you’re “not imaginative enough,” but here you’ll discover that progress isn’t about being perfect — it’s about embracing your vision, emotion, and unique perspective.
Each lesson helps you unlock your subconscious, develop your technical skills, and translate emotions into symbols step by step. By the end, you won’t just paint surrealist works — you’ll see yourself as an artist with greater confidence and inspiration to keep creating.
Hey, I'm Christen
I began my art journey when I was very young, learning and practicing how to master drawing the human face. I grew and evolved in my art practice and am now a full-time artist with 10 years of experience. Over the years, I have created a body of work that reflects the beauty of Black culture.
My work, which primarily uses acrylic paint, builds on the legacy of African American art by providing a counter-narrative to Eurocentric perceptions. I use vivid color and complex compositions to capture the depths of the Black human experience and its universal qualities. My pieces, which often feature human figures and portraits, are rooted in surrealism to tell stories that go beyond the visual. Through my art, I aim to challenge perceptions and inspire new ideas, allowing viewers to connect with each piece psychologically and emotionally.
Art has become my voice, a tool to show that the possibilities are endless and that Black people can occupy any space, both real and imagined.
