This original graphic by Salvador Dalí belongs to his celebrated Biblia Sacra series, created between 1967 and 1969 for the Italian publisher Rizzoli. Dalí explored biblical and spiritual themes with his unmistakable surrealist language, blending symbolism, dream imagery, and bold use of color.
Titled “Contemplation of a Dream Self”, this piece presents a meditative profile portrait, suspended between dream and reality. The flowing contours, vibrant colors, and surreal textures reveal Dalí’s fascination with the subconscious and with spiritual reflection.
