A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Remedios Varo, a fantastic surrealist painter: https://www.wikiart.org/en/remedios-varo
I found this painting on that site titled "Star Maker". Interestingly the scrawl that looks like "R J II" that I thought might be the artist's initials isn't in the painting there at all.
(I called it a painting...but maybe it's a print?)
It's an oil painting on fiberboard, and is available in a San Francisco gallery, that has extensive surrealist work, like Leonora Carrington's. Worth a visit if one's in the city.
The thing I like about her work is a lot of it is like here are surreal paintings with deep themes regarding the occult, alchemy and feminism but she also just does a couple of paintings about cats. Cats paradise and sympathy are 2 I know of but I think she has more.
The fern-cats one is great, I think she would have been a wondrous fantasy illustrator.
