SALVADOR DALI

Salvador Dalí, a leading figure of Surrealism, created dreamlike artworks that explored the unconscious mind through fantastical imagery. Known for masterpieces like *The Persistence of Memory* (1931), Dalí's paintings, sculptures, and films blend awe and unease, defining the movement’s identity. His works are held in prestigious institutions such as MoMA and the Tate and continue to command multimillion-dollar sales at auction.
