Salvador Dalí

Dalí is considered one of the greatest and most important artists of the last century, and perhaps the most influential figure of the Surrealist movement. He began painting as a teenager, and even then, his unique style was evident. His higher education and language studies allowed him to travel and explore the history of art, as well as new cultural and philosophical ideas. Indeed, many of his works engage with the great Renaissance painters, Picasso, and Freud’s writings.

Dalí did not limit himself to just one field of art—he painted, sculpted, created stage sets and costumes for plays, illustrated books, and designed jewelry. His work embodied a complete worldview that encompassed every possible medium.
