Salvador Dali, whose real name is Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali i Dom\u00e9nech, was born on May 11, 1904 in Spain. Although he is mostly known as a painter, he actually holds the titles of sculptor, photographer and filmmaker. The artist, who produces works in almost every field he is interested in, is actually one of today’s geniuses. And it’s not just us, he says it himself. So much so that we can understand this from the writing he wrote in his diary when he was younger;<\/p>\n
\u201cI will be a genius, the world will admire me. I will probably be despised and not understood, but I will be a genius, a great genius.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nSalvador Dali is also a wounded boy. Because 9 months before he was born, the family lost a son. He was given the name “Salvador” after his older brother. Dali says this has had a great impact on his life. Dali, who had a childhood in the shadow of his brother’s death, always questioned himself and his personality, and developed various behaviors to attract the attention of his parents.<\/p>\n
He states that these periods are the basis of hysterical moods. It is also among the known facts that he is very similar to his deceased brother. On the other hand, Dali, whose father is an extremely tough character, is a child who has always felt closer to his mother throughout his life. This is one of the developments reflected in the character formation and emotional states of the famous painter.<\/p>\n
Dali, whose sister Ana Maria was born when he was 3 years old, is actually a spoiled character, since he is the only boy in the house. Dali, who receives the attention he could not get from his father, from his mother and other family members, is described as a child who draws attention with his capricious movements.<\/p>\n

Anne Felipa is a very kind hearted, soft and smiling character. He was the first to discover Dali’s talent for painting. Felipa, the mother who enrolled Dali to a private painting school when she was only 10 years old, has always supported her son since those years. Salvador Dali opens his first exhibition at the Figueres Town Hall when he turns 15, marking the year 1919. When the year marks 1921, Dali experiences a great destruction and loses his only beloved mother to breast cancer. It is known that he said the following words after the death of his mother;<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026it was the biggest blow I have ever taken in my life. I worshiped him [\u2026] I could not accept the loss of a being I had always trusted to make invisible the inevitable flaws of my soul.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nShortly after this loss, which was extremely painful for Dali, father Cusi chooses to marry his sister-in-law.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
After the death of his mother, Salvador Dali moves to Madrid, where he begins to produce the first works that will shape his career. In those years, Dali’s works, which were observed to be influenced by Cubism and Dadaism, are met with great interest in Madrid. Of course, the fact that the currents have not yet become widespread in Madrid is effective in this. In addition, the famous painter meets producer Luis Bu\u00f1uel, who was interested in avant-garde art in those years, and poet Federico Garcia Lorca and establishes close friendships.<\/p>\n
Suspended from school for the crime of indiscipline and later arrested for the anarchist demonstrations he participated in, Dali returns to school in 1925 and opens his first exhibition in Barcelona, where only his own works are exhibited.<\/p>\n
Going to Paris in 1926, Dali meets Picasso, whom he admires. In the following years, the Picasso influence in Dali’s works becomes noticeable. Returning to Spain, Dali met Luis Montanya and Sebastia Gash, who were known as the art critics of the period, in 1928 and wrote the \u201cAnti-Art Catalan Manifesto\u201d. This manifesto marks the era as it defends modernism and futurism in art.<\/p>\n
