What is Surrealism SREF style

Surrealism is an artistic style characterized by the juxtaposition of realistic elements in dreamlike, illogical settings, challenging perception. This aesthetic explores the subconscious through precise rendering of impossible scenarios, such as floating objects or visual paradoxes. To effectively generate such images in Midjourney, incorporating the term "surrealism" into your prompt is crucial. This guides the AI to combine sharp detail with conceptual absurdity, resulting in compelling, often unsettling, visual narratives.

Surrealism Prompt Ideas

  • A vast desert landscape with a floating chrome door reflecting a tropical ocean, hyperdetailed, cinematic lighting
  • Close up portrait of a woman whose eyes are replaced by rectangular windows showing a clear blue sky, dramatic shadows, high contrast photography
  • A grand piano made entirely of melting ice, sitting on a velvet stage, moody atmosphere, highly detailed render
  • An open book shedding actual migratory birds instead of words, volumetric light, surreal illustration

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a Midjourney Style Reference (--sref)?

A Style Reference, or SREF, is a powerful feature that lets you use the aesthetic of a reference image to influence the style of your generations. Our library provides the direct SREF code for thousands of styles.

How do I understand and use the Aspect Ratio (--ar) parameter?

The --ar parameter controls the aspect ratio of your image. For example, --ar 16:9 creates a widescreen image. Our guide provides a full list of supported ratios.

Why is my SREF code not working?

Ensure you are using a compatible Midjourney version (v6 or newer) and check for typos. Sometimes, strong keywords in your prompt can override the style; try reducing the style weight (e.g., --sw 250).

Can I use this SREF code with a Character Reference (--cref)?

Yes, --sref and --cref can be used together. This is a powerful combination to maintain a consistent character while applying a consistent style.

Which versions support style reference?

Style Reference is compatible with Midjourney versions 6, 7, and Niji 6.

What is the default image size for Midjourney V7?

Midjourney V7 creates upscaled images at 2048 x 2048 pixels for the default 1:1 aspect ratio.

What is the default style weight and what range can I use?

The default style weight is --sw 100. You can set it between 0 and 1000.
