In "The Lovers," René Magritte employs the technique of surrealism to evoke mystery and intrigue. The painting features two figures whose heads are obscured by cloth, creating a sense of disconnection and anonymity. This technique challenges viewers' perceptions of identity and intimacy, inviting them to contemplate the barriers that can exist in human relationships. Through this striking visual metaphor, Magritte explores themes of concealment and the complexities of love.

Magritte himself never wanted to explain his paintings. Surrealist painters often use dreams trying to reach their subconscious level. Consequently there may not be any intelligible explanations of surrealist paintings.

Usually oil on canvas.
Magritte used normal, everyday items in non-traditional ways. He used lithographs that were duplicated to create his artwork. Magritte's work was often simple, but raised questions about reality.
I'm not sure but i think he mostly used oils.
