"Crisalida" exemplifies Salvador Dalí's signature Surrealist style, characterized by dreamlike imagery and unsettling juxtapositions. The figure, resembling a skeletal, translucent human, holds a staff topped with a butterfly, symbolizing transformation and metamorphosis. The desolate landscape suggests a dream-like atmosphere, further blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. This work is typical of Dalí's exploration of the subconscious mind, where the ordinary is distorted and the surreal becomes tangible.
