In artwork we tend to notice the unexpected or exaggerated, such as when small objects are magnified or larger objects are scaled down. In the image above, the first thing a viewer may notice is the size of the shark. However, the human identifies that the shark is just in exaggerated scale because sharks are not bigger that blue whales in the ocean.

Surrealism is art that is based on paradox. This is art that cannot be expressed in rational terms. In surrealistic artwork, the artists focus on presented the irrational world of dreams or nightmares.
