Adam and Eve
Adam and Eve
Bronze, green and black patina, height: 52 cm, limited edition of 350 copies , signed.
Dalí depicts the moment of temptation in the Garden of Eden: Adam raises his hand in doubt as Eve offers him the forbidden fruit. The figures are rendered in the style of Greco-Roman antiquity, but a surreal element alters the scene – the snake coils into a heart shape, symbolizing the proximity of love and danger.
Dalí's own struggle with religion resonates in the background: He grew up between a strictly Catholic mother and an atheist father and remained trapped in a tension between faith and doubt throughout his life.

SPAIN, 1904 - 1989
Salvador Dalí
Salvador Dalí, born in Figueras in 1904, is considered one of the leading minds of surrealism and one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. Around 1929 he found his own style, which explored the world of the unconscious and dreams. With melting clocks and burning giraffes, he created iconic images that show his technical skills in an old-masterly style. Common themes in Dalí's works are intoxication, fever and religion, with his wife Gala often playing a central role. After an eventful life that took him from Spain to the USA and back to Europe, Dalí died in 1989, leaving a lasting legacy in the art world.
