The sculpture Profile of time echoes Dalí's famous painting "The Persistence of Memory" where the iconic melting clock was first presented. As the clock floats down the branches of the olive tree, it forms into a human profile, a double image. If you tilt your head to the left, Dalí's profile is revealed in the clock's dial with an eye, a pointed nose and a nine that represents Dalí's mustache. A tear falls from his eye, lamenting the path of life that all people must walk and emphasizing the infinite relationship between man and time. The unexpected softness of the clock also represents the psychological aspect where time, although considered precise in nature, can vary significantly in human perception. Profile of time is a symbol-heavy sculpture filled with imagery from Dalí's most famous artworks.

Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of our greatest modern artists and an icon of surrealism. Dalí's fantastic expressions in paintings, sculptures, films and writings helped to cement the identity of surrealism. Inspired by Freud's psychoanalysis, Einstein's theory of relativity, impressionism and Renaissance painting, Dalí rendered symbolist, fantastic creatures and landscapes. Few artists have had such a peculiar universe as Salvador Dalí, where an imaginative mix of madness executed with technical perfection and precision reigns. His painting "The Persistence of Memory" from 1931 is one of the most famous works of art of all time. Dalí lived as he created - in constant motion, in search of immortality.
