Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was a Spanish surrealist painter whose flamboyant persona was as famous as his art, marked by his eccentric mustache and theatrical self-promotion. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, he trained in Madrid and quickly became associated with Surrealism in the 1920s, blending dream imagery, meticulous draftsmanship, and bizarre symbolism into works like The Persistence of Memory (1931), with its iconic “melting clocks.” Dalí worked across painting, sculpture, film, photography, and even fashion, collaborating with figures like Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock. His lifelong fascination with dreams, religion, science, and the unconscious gave his art a strange, hallucinatory intensity, cementing him as one of the 20th century’s most recognizable and controversial artists.
