Salvador Dalí - Skyline

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s, encompassing all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

We can see that in this series of graphic works by Salvador Dalí, themes dear to the Spanish painter, such as soft biological concretions or molecular subdivisions, do not appear. Indeed, the surrealist influence is more subdued, and the dreamlike dimension seems to rest more on a sense of alienation akin to metaphysics. Indeed, the elements present in the depictions, taken in themselves, are all plausible; rather, it is their juxtaposition that creates enigmatic scenarios. And above all, on a formal level, Dalí distorts perspective and distorts space at will. All this is achieved using a deliberately illusory hyperrealist technique.

Salvador Dalí (Figueres 1904-1989). A major representative of historical Surrealism, he was a photographer, writer, and filmmaker (his collaboration with Luis Buñuel is famous) as well as a painter. His works are based on the principles of psychoanalytic associationism, following the teachings of André Breton. His style is characterized by a turgid, harsh hyperrealism, in which his subjects display an obsessive attention to detail. His compositions are a mix of free associations, biomorphic organisms, and cultural references.
