Salvador Dali is best known for his unique Surrealistic vision of the world utilizing fantastic symbols to create magnificent artworks. The Catalan Master is considered among the great graphic masters of this century.

The Surrealistic Flowers were created at the height of Dali’s Surrealist powers. In addition to being one of his most beautiful creations – bursting with color and extraordinarily detailed – these images are highly significant in Dalinian terms. Motivated by the desire to juxtapose seemingly unrelated images, flowers and symbols, the artistic effect unites and transforms; making new what was never before. Dali succeeds in altering the meaning of the images, their relationship to each other, and essentially creates a new concept and “way of seeing”.

In Dalinian terms, the flower represents the feminine, sensual and life-giving aspect of life. Held within this image is the process of nature which becomes part of the whole. For the artist this beholds the certainties of life. In contrast the symbols most often used by Dali represent the unknown and the uncertain, the subconscious mind.
