Salvador Dali, the surrealist artist known for his unorthodox theatrics, had an unwavering belief in his own genius. From a young age, he aspired to be admired by the world, even if it meant being despised and misunderstood. Born to a middle-class family in Spain in 1904, Salvador Dalí displayed ruthless ambition from an early age, as revealed in his autobiography, The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí. His aspirations unfolded in a fascinating progression, with dreams of becoming a cook at the age of six and envisioning himself as Napoleon at seven. At age sixteen he penned in his diary , "I will be a genius, and the world will admire me. Perhaps I'll be despised and misunderstood, but I'll be a genius, a great genius—I'm certain of it." This sentiment embodies the relentless drive that propelled Dalí to become a household name and solidify his place in the annals of art history. Early on is his career, at one remarkable evening in Paris, Gala, Dali's wife, proclaimed that her husband was a true genius to a French aristocrat, Prince Jean-Louis de Fossini-Lousing. This encounter led to the establishment of the "Zodiac" club in 1932, where twelve members became sponsors of Dali. Each month, one member contributed 2.5 thousand francs for one of Dali's captivating paintings. Along his journey, Dali courted controversy, as he both trampled on his female admirers and showed support for the Spanish dictator Francisco Franco. His distinctive creations remain instantly recognizable, a testament not only to his artistic prowess but also to his savvy public relations efforts. His provocative and captivating artworks have now become some of the most recognizable in art history, thanks in part to his successful public relations strategies. Dali's larger-than-life personality and penchant for self-promotion led him to create a museum dedicated to himself, a testament to his consummate showmanship in his hometown Figueres.

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.
