About The Artwork
Born in the shadow of his brother's tragic death, Salvador Dalí carried the burden of his brother's spirit throughout his life. Dalí's parents named him Salvador in remembrance of his deceased sibling, a practice shrouded in superstitious disfavor in their region of Spain. This connection to his brother's fate deeply affected Dalí, evident in his belief that their namesake transmitted the first brother's destiny to him. In his autobiography "Unspeakable Confessions," Dalí titled the opening chapter "How to Live with Death," a stark depiction of his own demise. The haunting presence of his brother's spirit pervaded his artwork, evidenced by the symbolism of shadows, hidden faces, and reflections in pieces such as "Metamorphosis of Narcissus." This unremitting influence seemed to pursue Dalí relentlessly, as if his dead brother's spectral presence sought to trap him in the realm of Hades. In describing his association with his brother's shadow, Dalí acknowledged the touch of madness that enveloped his artistic journey.

Bhutan
My visual art develops along a stylistic concept that I call "surpressionism". It is an exciting new art style that merges the fluid brushstrokes and vibrant colors of impressionism with the otherworldly and dreamlike qualities of surrealism. This unique blend creates a sense of movement and depth in the painted scene, encouraging the viewer's imagination to take flight. This style evokes emotions through suggestion, rather than realism. It's an art form that seeks to capture the spirit and essence of its subject. Surpressionism is a fresh and unique concept, and it offers endless possibilities for artists looking to push the boundaries of traditional art styles.
