Surrealism: Surrealism is the drawing or writing to unlock ideas and images from the unconscious minds, and others sought to depict dream worlds or hidden psychological tensions. It is the practice of producing fantastic or incongruous imagery or effects in art, literature, film, or theater by means of unnatural or irrational juxtapositions and combinations.
Abstract: Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead uses shapes, colors, forms, and gestural marks to achieve its effect.

Intricate Realism with Fantasy
Intricate are complex, complicated, involved, and knotty. While all these words mean "having confusingly interrelated parts," intricate suggests such interlacing of parts as to make it nearly impossible to follow or grasp them separately. The Intricate Realism with fantasy typically has no basis in scientific fact or speculation.
