Dalí was a prominent Surrealist painter. He was Spanish Catalan and was born in Figueres, Spain in 1904. His works have bizarre but gripping images while his actual skillset was attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters.

His use of symbolism in his work is extremely important, with common use of elephants, eggs, and other animals. 'The Persistence of Memory' (known as the 'melting clocks painting') symbolized the theory that time is relative and not fixed; he was inspired by a runny piece of cheese on a hot day. Dalí also explored other media and forms of art, such as film, sculpture, and Photography.
