Dali extended surrealism to various fields: oil painting, sketch, etching, sculpture, architecture, photography, drama, film, literature and silverware, and also expressed his peculiar and rich imagination in jewelry design in a unique way. He uses gold, platinum and precious stones (diamonds, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, aquamarine, topaz, etc.). ), pearls, corals and other noble materials to create mythical symbols of the heart, lips, eyes, plants, animals and religions, and give them unique anthropomorphic forms. Salvador dali personally selected each material, not only for color or value, but also for the connotation and symbolic significance of each gem or precious metal. Some jewels, such as eye time (1949), imperial heart (1953), or elephants in space (196 1), are considered to be his paintings using jewels and become his important works. Salvador dali said, "If you don't have an audience and there is no audience, jewelry won't be created to realize it. The audience is the ultimate artist, in his eyes, heart and mind, or intent to instill the ability to understand the creator's life, big or small jewelry.
Dali's love for jewelry, to a great extent, comes from his passion for his lover Gala. In his opinion, only the strangest ideas can be worthy of the woman he loves most. He once designed a heart-shaped brooch for her, and the golden heart-shaped base was inlaid with rubies, symbolizing blood and blood vessels. But the most shocking thing is that this brooch will beat with her every step, like a really beating metal heart! "Every morning when I wake up, I am experiencing an extreme happiness, that is, the happiness of being Dali!" This is Dali.
