Dali, Salvador Dalí, the Spanish Surrealist painter and printmaker, more infamously known for his surreal expressions and fanciful illusions. I must admit that I am a fan of this work. While I wouldn’t say I’m fanatical, I am intrigued by this works. His work breaks the boundaries of reality and delves into a surreal world that is uniquely Dalí. While studying Art History in college, I delved deeper into Salvador Dalí’s works as I explored my own surrealist illusions and study of colors. I purchased a few table-top books of his works and some small print books for reference. My influence comes more from the internet than from archival hardbound books. The surreal, dream-like, and fanciful elements in my own work are a direct reflection of Dalí’s influence. He truly is a brain-teaser. In addition to Dalí, other artists like Parkes (modern surrealist; fantasy); even Larry Elmore have influenced my work as well. They are all incredibly skilled with an eye for detail and light. If you have the chance, I recommend taking a look at some of Salvador Dalí’s work online. Check out pieces like “The Anthropomorphic Cabinet” (Anthropomorphic – Dali) from 1936.
