Each image, laden with Dalí’s unique symbolism, refers to a pivotal moment or aspect of Dalí’s experience. Each image, laden with Dalí’s unmistakable symbolism, refers to a pivotal moment or defining aspect of his experience, drawing on themes of dream imagery, eroticism, myth, religion, and the passage of time.
Executed with exceptional technical finesse, the etchings combine precise line work with rich color, enhancing the immediacy and psychological intensity of the imagery. Viewed as a complete set, the works form a coherent narrative, one that asserts Dalí’s enduring authority over Surrealism while reaffirming its relevance. At the same time, each etching stands powerfully on its own, offering collectors the opportunity to engage with Dalí’s imagery as both an individual statement and part of a larger artistic legacy.
