Most of them are familiar to the audience – the artist used in creating sculptures the same images that appear on his canvases. Almost all the sculptures were created in the house of Dali in Port Ligate.

“Vision of an angel” is dedicated to the unity of man and God. Image of the Creator is presented in this mystical sculpture of right thumb, from which comes all things (like the branches of a tree trunk). “Finger of God” – a symbol of the divine will, also evokes the tower too … Man created by God tends to resemble the Creator, but God is all-powerful and the person will never be able to beat him, what-would knowledge he had. Human figure resembling a tree which branches rush to the heavens, and the roots firmly tied to the land, dual displays the essence of man.

It is a fusion of masculine and feminine in one being (terrestrial snails – hermaphrodites). It is the perfect harmony of love relationships, because when two snails mating, each implements its both sexual advance. Snail shell – symbol of frozen time, spiral shell symbolizes infinity.

Melting watches are the most recognizable and beloved by public iconographic way of surrealistic world of Dali. But time in this sculpture is not just amorphous – it dances to the rhythm of vibrations of the universe. The usual concept of time invented by man and so is his service, helping to streamline the moments of human life. Dali time is another time. It is free from the limitations of rational and non-stop dancing, indifferent to the needs of people, their history, and even outer space. Dancing time image captured in three different forms: Dance of Time I, II and III. Perhaps it’s past, present and future: danced, dancing, and will dance

Soft watch comfortably placed on an old tree, the eternal symbol of life. Tree of Life – way of cyclicity and continuity of life. Crown, crowning watch symbolizes the dominance of time.

Details of the person intentionally left not well developed, which would emphasize that this is not the image of a particular woman, but all women – present, past and future.

This is one of the most famous characters created by Dali. Soft watches are helplessly hanging from the branches of a tree. Time is no longer a tough and independent, it was merged with the space.
