"After Dali" 2006, 9" x 12" watercolour pencil on paperI suspect there is a Dali in me... But remembering a quote by Frida Kahlo makes me reconsider this.
"I never painted dreams. I painted my own reality." Andre Breton declared her a surrealist but she retaliated and said something of this nature: " They are so damn 'intellectual' and rotten that I can't stand them anymore....I [would] rather sit on the floor in the market of Toluca and sell tortillas, than have anything to do with those 'artistic' bitches of Paris."
I've stopped dreaming about a what-if kind of life and have accepted the present and all of its nuances.
The piece above is a watercolour pencil study that is a different version of the original by Dali.
