Blog Post #8 Part I & II
A boundless creative spirit with an eternal lust for artistic advancements; Salvador Dalí curated an everlasting legacy. Salvador Dalí, born in Figueres, Spain, on May 11, 1904, was destined for greatness. At a young age, Dalí showcased his talents to his parents which led him to become a premature outcast. Studying at schools like Hispano-French School of the Immaculate Conception and San Fernando Academy of Art in Madrid, Dalí strengthened his skillset and rebelled against traditional teaching. The natural born rebel found his way traveling the world creating beautiful surrealism paintings which quickly became the highlights of his legacy. I absolutely adore Dalí’s work: the whimsical, unorthodox oil paintings conveyed a message greater than beauty. Dalí’s artwork was artistic masterpieces which showcased his conceptual strengths and breath-taking techniques. Some may see his work as just pure imagination, but I believe Dalí’s pieces were communicating truth. The truth about society’s complications and universal communication back into the “Middle World.” I first hear of Dalí’s work through an art class in high school, but a friend pushed me into researching deeper into his extraterrestrial world. I love that Dalí’s work challenged life’s aspect such as time, nature, science, religion, drugs, and philosophies. Dalí never settled for the ordinary; he pushed himself to reach a self-superiority. *this post is a substitute*

Remember that four-year degree plan? Well to add another year on to my schedule, I want to travel back to New York and work more with one of my creative partners while presenting a full body of work (music, art, photography, digital and much more).
My long-term goal is to formulate more than just art but transform into artistry. I want people to see this body more than just what I can do, but a leisure into my mind, heart, and soul.
To achieve these goals I just simply have to stay true to myself and keep the determination, passion, and experiments elevated.
