The most defining feature of Salvador Dali is his moustache, which curles upwards on both sides beneath his nose. This became his trademark at a later age, but he didn't actually have his moustache like that when he was younger. He had black hair, and looked quite elegant when he was younger. At an older age he let his hair be wilder, and he looked more excentric.

One is 'The Elephants'

another is 'Reflection of Elephants'.


NOTE:

The official title of 'Reflections ...' is longer, but if you look that up you should find it.

Also, the elephants appeared in more than 2 paintings. Another had a title along the lines 'Dream caused by Bees flying around a pomegranate' or something like that. Again, a quick search should find it.

It was surreal, dreamlike, surprising, experimental and had occasional sexual themes.

Dali was influenced by the subconscious, dreams and fantasy. He used different objects, persons or animals to symbolize themes that were central to him. Themes in his paintings were physics, sexuality, fetishes, women, his mother or wife, childhood, time, war, life, death among others.

His paintings would often contain something surprising as his art isn't bound by the boundries of rationality.
