Dalí is my first thought when I think of surrealism, my favorite art style. He is certainly one of the strangest artists I've ever studied. Dalí's art reflects his mental and social life, and especially his sexual desires, though it often isn't obvious. His art is also a representation of his intense interest in the study of the unconscious, as devised by Sigmund Freud. His pieces seem very dream-like and psychotic. To me, they seem like more of an intricate nightmare.
Dalí is best known for his painting
The Persistence of Memory. (1931)
Another of his very famous artworks is Les Elephants. (1948)
Dalí painted over 1000 paintings, but his most recognizable and certainly my favorite ones are of the surrealism style.

Love Dalí! I like how his art displays his feelings in unrealistic ways. Good job!
