Track 25

Track 25.

The creative person I have chosen is Salvador Dali.

I visited the Dalf Foundation in Figueres last year, and it made a great impression on me.

He was born in Catalunya in Spain, I’m not sure of the exact year but I think maybe around 1904 and he died in about the late 1980s, when he was in his 80s.

He was a surrealist painter, so he used symbolism a lot.

What that means is in his paintings things don’t look like what they are.

One of his most famous paintings is called The Persistence of Memory and it shows watches or clocks that are very soft, which is supposed to show that time is not as most people understand it.

He was fascinated by Math and Science, and so am I, so that is one reason why I like him.

Another reason is that he was quite unconventional, and even eccentric in his behavior, so that makes him an interesting character, who was not like other people.

The same is true of his art.

And what’s more, he didn’t just stick with painting.

Later in his life he did sculpture and worked on film sets.

So, to put it in a nutshell, I like the fact that he was innovative and totally different from others.

Oh, and one more thing, the colours in his work are amazing, so they’re good to hang on your walls, not the originals of course!

His work makes me feel proud because he’s from my country,from my region, actually, and he brought fame to Catalunya.
