Swans Reflecting Elephants - Salvador Dalí

"Swans Reflecting Elephants", painted in 1937 by Salvador Dalí, is a masterpiece of surrealism. This artistic movement, of which Dalí was one of the main exponents, is characterized by the exploration of the subconscious and the creation of dreamlike images. In the painting, Dalí uses a water mirror to transform swans into elephants, playing with perception and optical illusion. The "double reflection" technique is a display of the artist's ability to challenge logic and visual expectations. The elephants, formed by the reflections of the swans, represent duality and transformation, recurring themes in Dalí's work. In this painting, surrealism seeks to unravel the mysteries of the subconscious and the paradoxes of reality.
