Salvador Dalí, born on May 11, 1904 in Figueras, Spain, was a Spanish surrealist painter and printmaker, known for his explorations of subconscious imagery. He studied art in Madrid and Barcelona, and showed an unusual technical facility as a painter. His mature artistic style developed in the late 1920s after discovering Sigmund Freud’s writings about the erotic meaning of subconscious imagery and affiliating with the Parisian surrealists.

Dali's painting style rapidly developed from 1929 to 1937, producing paintings that made him the most famous Surrealist artist in the world.

As far as the value of his works is concerned, Dalí's paintings continue to perform well at auctions. According to Mei Moses of the famous auction house, the average compound annual return for Salvador Dali that was resold at auctions between 2003 and 2017 was 7.3%. An impressive 88.2% of the 153 works increased in value.
