Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was one of the most famous Surrealist painters. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, he developed a visionary and provocative style, characterized by dreamlike imagery, psychological symbols, and extremely precise technique. Among his most famous works is "The Persistence of Memory," with its iconic melting clocks. He was also a writer, sculptor, and stage designer, becoming one of the most recognizable artistic figures of the 20th century.
