Salvador Dali has always been a personal hero of mine, so i was very excited when asked to paint his portrait and pay homage to this truly phenomenal and inspirational Artist. I was requested to paint this portrait in Black & White, although i have not used any black paint as i prefer to mix my own darks instead of using Black. There are 7 references to his paintings in this portrait:

• Elephant in the background

• Melting clock

• Ants in his ear

• The Egg 

• A drawer beneath his chin

• A crutch holding up his magnificent moustache

• A Dali landscape in the background

Oil on canvas (50cm x 50cm)

Private commission
