A quote from this masterful practitioner of lime art, "I feel that not now, nor ever, will I claim to be the greatest Surrealist, but I will say that because of my spiritual sensitivity, of which I'm truly grateful to God, I have arrived at a time in this planetary wandering to perfect an art form. I believe the answer lies in the next elevated plain of Surrealism. I call this Super Surrealism."
What is Surrealism? According to Webster's Dictionary; sur-re-al-ism (suh ree'uh Liz uhm) n. (sometimes cap) 1. a style of art and literature developed principally in the 20th century, stressing the subconscious or nonrational significance of imagery arrived at by automatism or the exploitation of chance effects, unexpected juxtapositions, etc. The reason for Noel's describing his style of surrealism as Super is based on the fact that he has taken the original surrealistic expression to the extreme. Unlike Salvador Dolie, another renowned Surrealistic painter, Noel feels there is more to using common, natural objects in expression. His work is an extreme balance of simplicity (a retreat from the use of common objects) and harmony (the harmony of soul, mind and environment blended to crystalline perfection and reflection).
There is no doubt that Noel Rivera's expression of the Super Surrealistic art foml is pure, natural and perfect. It is a modem movement of interpretation of the subconscious mind to manifest a new and stunning form of art. A style of art that inwardly personifies the imagination and beauty of a man's God given talent. It is by the brush which lowers oneself into the depths of the world of Surrealism and it is by extreme expression, once found, that ascends this artist to a higher level of super accomplishment.
