Q4 Project Salvador Dali

    For my quarter four project I decided to create a painting inspired by the style and artwork of Salvador Dali. Salvador Dali is one of the world's most famous surrealist painters, he is very iconic for his role in the movement and his impactful work. I choose him because, he was the artist I decided to work on for my quarter 3 project. Surrealism itself is a style of painting that I enjoy and like to paint. Surrealism is a 20th-century avant-garde movement in art and literature. It sought out to release creative potential of the unconscious mind, such as irrational juxtaposition of images being an example. Or an easier example would be drawing or painting an oxymoron of two things or one thing, sometimes random things you would not see together. My painting itself was inspired by not one painting by Salvador Dali but his overall style. I do not have a name for the painting yet, but for this painting I wanted to incorporate organic things. That being the nude upper half of a woman's body, trees and flowers growing from the fingertips to show that the women is the birth giver of everything (mother nature). The painting is meaning to show the destructiveness and beauty of nature in total. While incorporating use a grimness to the painting and things I like. Such as giving the women a floating potato for a head because I love potatoes.
