Echoes of the Toreador
IMAGE COMPOSITE BY: YVONNE
This piece, a highlight of my graduating portfolio, draws inspiration from Salvador Dalí’s ‘The Hallucinogenic Toreador.’
The intricate patterns overlaying the woman’s face are a tribute to Dalí’s masterful use of hidden images and layered meanings. The monochromatic tones and subtle textures evoke a dreamlike quality, inviting the viewer to peer into the subject’s inner world—a space where emotions, history, and identity converge. The strands of hair that gently frame her face add movement and depth, symbolizing the flow between reality and the surreal.
This piece is both a meditation on the multifaceted nature of the self and a tribute to Dalí’s enduring influence on my artistic journey.
