About the Artist

​

Dalí (1904–1989) was a Spanish Surrealist painter and printmaker, renowned as a "master of contemporary artistic magic." His works feature bizarre and dreamlike imagery that not only stimulate the imagination and evoke illusions but also captivate viewers with extraordinary intensity. He is best known for exploring subconscious symbolism. Dalí deeply cherished the landscapes of his childhood, including the vast plains surrounding Figueres and the olive groves and jagged rocks of the Catalonian coast.

His works often revolve around dreams, with some pieces explicitly titled "Dream." However, what sets Dalí apart from other Surrealist artists is his ability to create a hyper-realistic sense of the surreal while embedding his own unique symbolic meanings.
