Salvador Dali was a surrealist artist, born in Barcelona, Spain in 1904, who preferred to paint while hallucinating.
The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali (1931)
| The Persistence of Memory, with its melting watches, is probably the most famous of Dali's paintings. He modelled the watches on the texture of camembert cheese. How flexible is our perception of time? |  |
 | The Metamorphosis of Narcissus by Salvador Dali This is my favourite of Dali's paintings and depicts the myth of Narcissus, who fell in love with his own reflection and was turned into a flower. |
| Reminiscence Archeologique De L'angelus by Salvador Dali (1935) |  |
 | Atomic Idylle & Uranic Melan by Salvador Dali |
