Salvador Dali

One of the latest museums I visited was Tate Britain, which I tend to visit at least once a year due to set projects. Whilst walking through the gallery I saw many beautiful pieces of work done by different artists and designers but a specific piece caught my eye. It was a piece of work done by Salvador Dali called the “Metamorphosis of Narcissus 1937”. Salvador Dali specializes in Painting, drawing, photography, sculpture writing and film. I really found his paintings unusual and eye catching so I went and researched his work. I also really liked one of his best pieces of work called “The persistence of memory” painted in 1931. I really found this piece interesting because it got me thinking about what the picture was actually about. After researching what the picture was about I found that the melting watches represents Salvador Dali’s Theory of “softness” and “Hardness”. This piece left me thinking and got me motivated so I started putting more thought and feeling into my work to produce unusual pieces, as I want people to think about what my painting are saying too. I also feel that Salvador’s paintings are complete as even the background tells a story.
