Le soleil végétal c. 1953

"Le soleil végétal" (c. 1953) is a painting by Salvador Dalí, a surrealist artist known for his imaginative and dream-like imagery. The painting depicts a sun with a human face, surrounded by branches and birds. The sun's face is a recurring motif in Dalí's work, often symbolizing life, energy, and the subconscious. The birds, with their wings outstretched, might represent freedom or the flight of imagination. This work exemplifies Dalí's signature style, characterized by vivid colors, bold lines, and dreamlike imagery, and embodies the artist's fascination with the human mind and the surreal.
