Paintings give an interesting look into the minds of their creators. Their way of thinking is different from common people and through their weird and twisted imagination; they give people a look at how they see the world. They have talent in doing what they do and often are the best at what they do. One such talent is Rob Gonzalves from Canada and his magic realism or surrealism paintings have become one of the best paintings in modern times.
