What is Surrealism SREF style

Surrealism is an art style that seeks to unlock the power of the unconscious mind through dreamlike imagery and irrational juxtaposition. This image exemplifies Surrealism through its illogical compositions, such as floating orbs in a desert setting and the collage elements adorning the portrait. When incorporating this style into your **Midjourney prompt**, focus on combining unlikely objects or creating impossible scenes. Achieving this specific **style** often requires careful descriptive language regarding lighting and texture, making it a powerful element to include in any **prompt** seeking visually arresting and thought-provoking results.

Surrealism Prompt Ideas

  • Still life of an antique porcelain doll sitting atop a massive, perfectly smooth yellow sphere in a deep blue void, juxtaposition of textures, high detail
  • An epic fantasy scene where ancient stone ruins are overgrown with metallic, glowing vines under two small moons, vivid teal and gold color palette
  • Close-up macro photography of a human eye reflecting a miniature, impossible landscape inside the iris, unsettling yet beautiful composition

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.
