Salvador Dali

Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was a Spanish surrealist artist known for his dreamlike, bizarre imagery and technical precision. A leading figure in the **Surrealist movement**, he explored the subconscious, often depicting melting clocks, distorted figures, and vast landscapes. His most famous work, *The Persistence of Memory* (1931), symbolizes the fluidity of time. Dalí’s eccentric personality and theatrical self-presentation made him a cultural icon beyond painting, influencing film, fashion, and design. His work blended meticulous realism with imaginative fantasy, leaving a lasting impact on modern art.
