René François Ghislain Magritte (November 21, 1898-August 15, 1967) was a Belgian surrealist artist. He became well-known for a number of witty and thought-provoking images. Magritte was born in Lessines, in the province of Hainaut the eldest son of Léopold Magritte, a tailor, and Adeline, a milliner. He began lessons in drawing in 1910. In 1912, his mother committed suicide by
  
drowning herself in the River Sambre. Magritte was present when her body was retrieved from the water. The image of his mother floating, her dress obscuring her face, may have influenced a 1927-1928 series of paintings of people with cloth obscuring their faces, including Les Amants, but Magritte disliked this explanation.

As Magritte puts images in strange places such are these drips in a strange place. It is a study of reflections and opposing colors, how   transparent things affect the way you see the world, even if the world you are seeing is unreal.
