Triumphant Elephant
Triumphant Elephant
Bronze, green patina, height: 53 cm, limited edition of 350 copies, signed.
The elephant, a symbol of the future for Dalí, is one of his most famous motifs. With its thin, seemingly endless legs, it subverts the notion of weight and strength, transforming the animal into a being that appears to effortlessly overcome the laws of nature. The elephant first appeared in 1944 in Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee… and remained a recurring image in Dalí's work.
In the Triumphant Elephant, he carries an angel, a messenger of the subconscious, who guides man through life. Together, they raise their trunks and trumpets – an image of hope, triumph, and the dawn of the future.

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.
