His parents named him Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí Y Domenech. Dali was a Spanish artist and surrealist painter.

He was very much into painting whatever the subconscious can come up with. To this end he enjoyed his hallucinations, but you might have already gathered that from looking at his paintings.

Dali created his most famous works in the 1930s. He studied art in Madrid and Barcelona.
