The International Art Exhibition brings together artists from around the world whose work is inspired by automatism, biomorphism, Dadaism, metaphysical art, and surrealism, reinterpreted through contemporary perspectives and modern technologies. Serving as a platform for experimentation and innovation, the Biennale showcases original artworks and new creative ideas.

The Biennale’s mission is to support and promote talented artists while offering audiences the opportunity to engage with contemporary art connected to these influential artistic movements. The exhibition features contemporary surrealists from the USA, Canada, the Netherlands, Italy, Turkey, Romania, Germany, Finland, and many other countries. Through visual art, the Biennale invites visitors to explore the deepest layers of consciousness and imagination.

In addition to the main exhibition, the program includes artist talks, panel discussions, competitions, interviews, and special publications, creating a dynamic space for dialogue and artistic exchange.
