Deepest feelings: mesmerizing surrealist oil and graphite portraits by Miles Johnston

Miles Johnston, a talented artist based in Malmö, Sweden, captivates the art world with his surreal graphite portraits and oil paintings. His work delves into the complexities of the human psyche, portraying subjects in a state of flux that balances the familiar with the unknown. Johnston’s pieces often depict fragmented bodies, multiplied faces, or limbs in impossible positions, visualizing the internal emotions and thoughts that are typically hidden from view.

His unique approach to capturing the metaphors of the body and mind has garnered attention, leading to anticipation for his upcoming exhibitions. For those who appreciate contemporary art that explores the depths of human emotions and the surreal landscapes of the mind, Johnston’s work is a must-see.

I work primarily in graphite and oils, using the human form as a vehicle to attempt to process the intensity and profound strangeness of the collective human experience. The distortions and transformations my subjects undergo serve to represent the experience of our internal state during crucial moments in our lives. Instead of focusing on literal representations of the world, I depict the surreal and abstract qualities of our subjectivity with the goal of creating works with a deep emotional resonance.
