Salvador Dalí (1904-1989)

                                          
Today I am going to Talk about my favorite painter, he is Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech.
He was one of the greatest exponent of surrealism; and I could say that he was a complete artist, developing in other areas with great expertise.
The story goes that is older brother had the same name, but he died a few months after an illness, so when Dalí was born, his parents decided to put the same name, this marked a long life of Salvador, because he believed to be the reincarnation his older brother.
From an early age he showed his skills with deawing and painting, since his parents got him motivated schools to exploit his talent, he was always present in all types of exhibitions. And bigger, he began exploring with Cubism, Dadaism; in other words, he mix of both classic (the academy) with the strongest avant-garde.
He was associated with artists such as Pepin Bello, Luis Buñuel, with whom he worked in the film "Un Chien Andalou" (surrealistic), Federico García Lorca with whom he associated with love, Pablo Picasso, whom he greatly admierd Dalí, Joan Miró, and others.
Then over time he met the woman who would later be his muse and great love, Gala ( Elena Dmitrievna Diakonova).
Beyond his alleged political ideology, beyond the frantic narcissism, beyond his eccentric life is admirable about him was his great capacity for imagination, your work neat and amazing, was able to mix elements of which if you look with attention his works are other hidden items that one would never think that I could find. For me he is a role model in the sense that he was so convinced himself, that he was the best, he valued all activities. He was an advocate of women and he was and will be remembered as a pettry crazy (for me).
