This article proposes a dialogue on what art is, through a semiotic perspective (Peirce), researching artists such as Jan Svankmajer, Marcel Duchamp, Salvador Dali, and others, to find possible arguments that lead to a new perception of art, its technical and symbolic functionality, as well as the process of continuity where the work of art is placed in its function as a sign. In order to carry out this analysis, we consider the creative process up to its condition before the spectator, considering every constructive and perceptive signs that put 'something' in the condition to match the definition of art.
