Well here I leave another of my portraits ... Try this great painter, artist, sculptor .... Salvador Dali

Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí was born in Figueras (Spain) in 1904. Between 1921 and 1925 he studied at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid where he became friends with the poet Federico Garcia Lorca and the filmmaker Buñuel. In 1925, the Dalmau Gallery in Barcelona organized his first personal exhibition, an exhibition from which Picasso and Miró began to take an interest in their work.

Dalí is influenced first by Futurism, by Cubism later (1925). In April 1926, Dalí traveled to Paris for the first time, where he visited Picasso. On his second trip to Paris, in 1929, he attends the shooting of Buñuel's film "El perro Andaluz", of which Dalí is a co-writer, and Miró presents him to the group of surrealists. Dalí finds André Breton and ...... to Gala, his future wife and muse (married at the time with Paul Eluard). Adheres to the surrealist movement in 1929.

Dali is interested in Freud's psychoanalytic theories and defines his "paranoiac-critical" method. In that period, he painted dreamlike and phantasmagorical spaces filled with symbolic elements: soft clocks, crutches, fantastic animals, twisted characters. Dalí still participates in the surrealist demonstrations and exhibitions after his exclusion in 1934. Dalí interprets in his own way several famous works, such as the Angelus of Millet, giving several versions of them. Breton nicknames him "Avid Dollar"!

After the Spanish Civil War, he committed himself politically to Franco. From the 40s he declares that he wants to get closer to reality and returns to a more classical pictorial expression, while continuing to print his personal fantasy in his works.

The recurring themes both in his painted work and in the engraved work are women, sex, religion, battles. Dalí is shown in peculiar shows throughout his career, mixing art and life, constantly staging. After ten years of efforts, Dalí opened his own museum: in 1974, the Dalí Museum Theater was inaugurated. Dalí's last passion was "stereoscopic" painting (1975) and he presented his first "hyper stereoscopic" work in New York in 1978.
