Born in Figueres Spain the master artist was immediately influenced by his surroundings. The small farming town by the water changed Dalí. He lived seemingly unchained and his family's wealth helped him have more freedom and time on his hands. With this time Dalí was very attentive of his surroundings and that mindfulness has transcended into his art. The almost minimalistic and surreal art that Dalí produced would not have happened if he wasn't influenced by this beautiful countryside for the young artist to find inspiration from.

The weather in Figueres Spain was pretty standard. Relatively hot summers, average precipitation, and colder winters. Dalí's art is surreal, and you will rarely find a piece that highlights weather. Saying the weather in his town impacted his art would be a bold claim.

From a young age Dalí was held to a higher standard due to his fathers political background. Dalí did not like this pressure. It's speculated that a lot of his work is considered to be rebelious of his father trying to force Dalí to act more dignified. Pieces like "The Great Masterbator" support this claim. Dalí's small town was tight knit, he went through public schooling until he was moved to private school by his father, because he needed more discipline. Once again the disciplinary action backfired and Dalí remained someone who practiced having his own free spirit, like his art.

Salvador Dali was one of the most famous and influential artists of his time. Born on May 11th, 1904 in the small farming town of Figueres, Spain only 16 miles from the French border. As a young man he enjoyed fishing, swimming and of course painting. His parents owned a summer home in the small village of Cadaques. This is where his parents made him his first painting studio and he fell in love with the art. As he grew older, he started to gain a name for himself in the painting world. His “breakout piece” was called the Basket of Bread and was created in 1928. All of the sudden, the world was clamoring for more of Dali’s work. He started to get into surrealism and was the leader of that genre for most of the 1930’s. By the 1940’s, Dali started to move away from surrealism and and begun to paint science and religion. In 1941, Dali had an exhibit in the New York's Museum of Modern Art. Sadly, World War II started the next year and very few people were interested in art. This was a big hit to his career. He still painted but he didn’t have another exhibition until 1974 when Teatro-Museo Dalí opened. 19 of Dali’s newest works were on display and to no one's surprise they were surrealism. The museum which still exists today is considered by many to be the greatest museum of surrealism in the world. In 1980, unfortunately Dali had to put the brush down because the years of painting caught up to him and his motor skills were starting to fail him from overuse. In 1984, Dali was severely burned in a fire and was confined to a wheelchair. He returned to his hometown of Figueres to live the end of his life in comfort. On January 23, 1989 he passed away due to heart  failure. He is to this day one of the most iconic artist ever.
