The city of Samaris in 'Les murailles de Samaris' (1984) is made of panels—and, therefore, it is based on the misreading of the bidimensional space as a 3-D space

Schuiten was my main inspiration when I was studying illustration. He elevates surrealism, placing it inside a very real wrld like nobody I know. It is not as known as other artists but he definitely deserve international recognition. Thanks for bringing him to this place :)
