After our visit to Dali’s theatre/museum in Figueras, we wandered next door to a new gallery showcasing his creations. This gallery shows a collection of thirty-seven pieces of jewelry in gold and precious stones and twenty-seven drawings and paintings on paper that Salvador Dalí made in designing the jewels between 1941 and 1970.


I like Dali’s paintings but after a while, the novelty wears off and the magic fades a little. But not with the jewelry he designed, I suspect, perhaps the bling makes a longer lasting impression.

Some of the pieces are motorized and move ! The middle portion of this heart-shaped piece rises and falls slowly but rhythmically. A bit creepy actually.

The wings on the piece below flap slowly.

Gala (his muse, long time girlfriend) is featured above (back of her head) and below.

There is a face behind the giant piece of gem (below).

I guess only he can pull off these designs. Pearly whites !
More pieces from the exhibition in the next post.
