Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali was a Spanish painter, sculptor, graphic artist, and designer. Dali produced over 1,500 paintings in his career. He beautifully illustrated a lot of books, lithographs, designs for theatre sets and costumes.He left us a great number of drawings, dozens of sculptures, and various other projects, including an animated short film for Disney.

Salvador Dali  was born on May 11, 1904, in the town of Figueres, Spain and he was married to  Gala. His associates included such iconic figures as Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro, Sigmund Freud and Coco Chanel. In 1931, Dali painted one of his most famous works, The Persistence of Memory, which introduced a surrealistic image of soft, melting pocket watches. From 1960 to 1974, Salvador Dali dedicated much of his time to creating the Dali Teatro Museo in Figueres, Spain.

In 1980, Dali was forced to retire from painting due to a motor disorder that caused permanent trembling and weakness in his hands. On  January 23 , 1989, he died of heart failure at the age of 84.

I think Salvador Dali was a very interesting and unique personality who lived life on his terms. He is remembered worldwide for his originality and great contribution to art.

Chariclea's favourite artist

Sakis Rouvas

 

An artist that I really marvel is the Greek Singer Sakis Rouvas.

He born on the 5^th of January in 1972, in the village Mandoukion.

He came from a very poor family. At the age of 12 his parents get divorced and then started working to help his family. Rouvas started his career in the early 1990’s, when he won a Song Festival in Thessaloniki.

Now days, he is married with the model Katia Zigouli and they have 3 children. Sakis is one of the most well-known Greek celebrities and one of the most successful and famous entertainers of all the time in Greece.

The reason that I really admire Sakis, is because when he was young, except

the family problems that he faced, Sakis create his dreams and he follow

them, and that’s why today is celebrated. Lastly, make him becoming more

special his contribution in philanthropic organizations.
