THE MANIFESTO OF VISIONARY ABSURDISM
Art for the Awakened, the Weird, and the Wildly Alive
By Sonja Szlosek
2025 β Ireland β Earth (for now)
We believe:
That reality is ridiculous.
That beauty is urgent.
That the truth often wears a clown nose.
That imagination is a tool of survival.
That bureaucracy is an existential poem with too many stanzas.
That seriousness has become a performance. We are here to improvise.
Our method:
We paint π· piggy banks on gold bars and credit spirals into coffee cups.
We confuse expectations until meaning re-emerges from the nonsense.
We steal symbols from finance, politics, and patriarchyβand give them new lives.
We make the void blink. Then we wink back.
Our style:
Surreal. Satirical. Sacred.
Dada with purpose. Poetry in chaos.
Cosmic humor on canvas.
Color palettes that whisper and explode at once.
Our purpose:
To awaken thought. To soothe with absurdity. To fight fear with wonder.
To create art that makes people stop, laugh, cry, and say: "I don't know why I feel this, but I do."
We make the invisible visible by painting the impossible.
Our declaration:
We are not here to decorate walls.
We are here to electrify perception.
We are not neutral. We are not passive. We are not polite.
We are Visionary Absurdists. We bless the irrational. We paint what cannot be said.
We invite the world to fall upward.
Art is the revolution in disguise.
Let the vault stay open. Let the clocks melt π°οΈ Let the piggy banks fly π·
Let absurdity lead the way.
Reality optional. Side effects include sudden laughter and excessive imagination.
