Remedios Varo Uranga (1908 - 1963) was a Spanish-Mexican, surrealist painter. In Mexico, with Leonora Carrington, she developed an illusionistic Surrealism.
Varo used imagery in her work related to her father's profession. Fantastic and complex pieces of machinery recur throughout her work relating to her studies of alchemy theories and processes. Her figures, autobiographical in many respects, are fantastic, often incorporating science, dreams, witchcraft, and humor into psychological and spiritual journeys. [1]
