Frequently Asked Questions
Salvador Dalí - The Anthropomorphic Cabinet (Medium)
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.
The image of human bodies with drawers being opened is found repeatedly in Dalí's artistic work. It is clearly influenced by Dalí's immense fascination with Sigmund Freud's theories. The drawers being pulled out of the human body in the image can symbolize memories and the subconscious in humans and also express the mysteriousness of hidden secrets and desires that we carry within us. The work contains one of Dalí's most monumental images and has come to inspire, captivate and amaze with its subtle symbols of the unconscious.

Johan Melefors, born 1971, founder and CEO of Galleri Melefors, grew up in a family that is the third generation in the auction and antiques industry. Already during his childhood, Johan developed an interest in art and since the early 1990s has collected and traded classic, modern and contemporary art. He started Galleri Melefors in Linköping in 2013 when he moved home from Stockholm to his birthplace of Linköping, which he felt lacked an art store and gallery with a breadth of established collector's art and a well-thought-out and future-oriented contemporary catalog to display.
