Interesting thought, as a Surrealist, I've been wrestling with this forever. Since what I do is often not premeditated, but growing at the spur of the moment, meandering over the page exploring whatever comes to mind at the moment, I find it hard to give titles and explanations to it. Yves Tanguy comes to mind, who titles one of his strange landscape paintings: "Mama, Papa is wounded".
I appreciate the work of Zdzisław Beksiński who neither titles nor explains his work. It is up to the beholder to explore and read his own story into it.

I make up explanations the same way😉
