Persistence of Memory, 1931
The technical training, psychological influences, mixed together with Dali’s personal symbolism create complex pieces that usually leave the viewer questioning

Besides painting Salvador Dali also worked in sculpture, graphic design, and other visual arts. Not even the world of Hollywood was beyond his reach. In 1945, Dali collaborated with Disney on an animated piece called Destino. The project was abandoned but in 2003 was completed.
