How did surrealism influence Vicente Aleixandre's early work?
The dream, the irrational, the deep currents of the unconscious—these were the landscapes I explored in early works like *Ámbito*. Surrealism opened a door to realms beyond the purely rational, allowing me to express the cosmic stirrings within the human soul. It was a way to touch the primal energies, the animal depths, the very 'animal de fondo de bosque' that resides within us. These images, born of altered perception, were not escapes, but pathways to understanding the fundamental forces that shape both the inner and outer worlds, the raw material of desire and form.
