In ‘Flordali. Lune’ (1968),
Salvador Dalí transforms the delicate structure of a flower into a dreamlike
lunar vision. The composition unfolds as a hybrid of the botanical and the
celestial: petals radiate like crescent moons, while stems twist with the
elegance of calligraphy, suspended in an ethereal, nacreous space. Dalí merges
organic forms with cosmic symbolism, creating a poetic dialogue between growth,
light, and transformation.
Rendered in
his distinctive surrealist style, the work captures a moment of quiet
metamorphosis; part flower, part moon, part reverie. The subtle washes of
hand-applied colour animate the etched lines, giving the surface a tactile
luminosity. ‘Flordali. Lune’ belongs to Dalí’s celebrated ‘Flordali’ series,
where he reimagines the natural world as a theatre of wonder, bridging the
boundaries between science, fantasy, and divine geometry.
