Salvador Dali is one artist who created forms in an improbable manner while using highly accurate ones. He frequently portrayed recognisable objects in surrealist paintings, including clocks and elephants, but in peculiar and surprising ways. For instance, in his well-known work "The Persistence of Memory," melting clocks are draped over desolate landscapes, conjuring up a surreal and otherworldly mood. With his "paranoiac-critical method," Dali was able to access his subconscious and produce incredibly lifelike imagery that defied logic and perception. His creations still hold the attention of viewers today and prompted them to consider where the lines between reality and imagination should be drawn.
