Space Venus
Space Venus
Bronze, blue patina, height: 65 cm, limited edition of 350 copies, signed.
In this sculpture, Dalí pays homage to Venus, the goddess of beauty, and combines the classical female torso with his own symbols. A soft clock rests across the neck – a reference to the transience of physical beauty, but also to the enduring power of art.
Ants, symbols of decay and mortality, crawl across the body, while the division of the figure reveals an egg – a symbol of life, renewal, and the future. With these elements, Dalí links attraction and transience, death and rebirth. The numbers five and eleven are conspicuously absent from the clock face – perhaps a hidden reference to his birthdate.

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.
