Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali also known as Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali I Domenech Marques de Dali de Pubol was a Spanish surrealist painter. He was best known for his bizarre and surreal images throughout the 1920's. I think hi painting looks a lot like the digitally manipulated images that would be created  today especially with the bright colour and large surreal objects .

I specially like his pieces of work that include faces and half creatures as humans/ objects. I think these are really eye caching surreal pieces.

One mage that caught my eye the most is the twisted tree with the face. this is because you can see the connection between the human body and  nature almost. I think showing the body as a natural thing of beauty but in a surreal and eye catching way.

Although Salvador's paintings are very different to my ideas, I think that the surreal natures of both my idea and his work links. especially the idea of changing the form of something with it either being his way of manipulating objects onto the body or mine with over laying images to create this.
