Salvador Dali

Salvador Dalí, born in 1904, was a Spanish surrealist artist celebrated for his dreamlike imagery, technical brilliance, and eccentric persona. His masterpiece The Persistence of Memory (1931), featuring melting clocks, remains an iconic symbol of surrealism. Dalí’s innovative "paranoiac-critical method" unlocked new creative approaches by exploring the subconscious mind. His influence extends far beyond his lifetime, leaving a massive and lasting impression on modern art, fashion, film, and popular culture. Today, his works and unique vision continue to inspire artists and creators worldwide, and his legacy is preserved through major institutions like the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueres, drawing millions who continue to marvel at his extraordinary imagination.
