Above you can see Vladimir Kush's most famous artworks, the African Sonata. I think it's extremely clever how he merges animals with musical instruments; for example, the deer is also recognised as a harp. Furthermore, the entire atmosphere of the piece is musical due to the plants. The plants are actually metaphorically created using wind instruments. I think he uses wind instruments to demonstrate the environmental conditions; for example, if he had hypothetically used percussion instruments, the entire piece would perhaps be more "bassy" or run down.
Above (second image), you can see Heri Irawan's NV Art- Surreal entry, named "The Octopus World". I think it is extremely clever, in that the innovative structure of an octopus can create tangled roads which lead to different areas of the painting. The very simple houses suggest that it is a very surrealistic place, perhaps similar to a doll house, and the tentacles create a sense of perspective due to the way he conveyed the different proportions and sizes of the octopus in comparison with the objects in the painting. For example, the buildings are really small!
