Salvador Dali

Dali was known for striking and bizarre images in his work, such as this human and butterfly combination.

Surrealist art seeks to release the creativity of the unconscious mind.

Surealist artwork is often inspired by the artist’s dreams and imagination.

Objects and landscapes are combined in ways that they aren’t in regular life.

This painting is called “Persistance of Memory” and is Dali’s most famous artwork.

It represents a dream that Dali had in which the concept of time had no meaning at all.

What strange dreams have you had?
