# Salvador Dali in Polanco - Link: https://mywalkabout.net/salvador-dali-in-polanco/ - Published: 2017-08-27T12:19:00-07:00 - Author: My Walkabout Late night college study sessions is where I first learned about Surrealism and [Salvador Dali](https://www.dalipaintings.com/). My friend Natalie had some of his artwork hanging from her apartment walls, which is where I first laid eyes upon “ The persistence of Memory”. _“I don’t do drugs. I am drugs”._ – S Dali[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/a73e5-fullsizerender2b10.jpg?ssl=1) I’d never seen anything like his work before, and his surrealistic art pulled me in deep, my mind stuck like taffy in the twisted machine of Dali’s brain. _“Have no fear of perfection, you’ll never reach it.”_ – S Dali.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/3d735-img_9433.jpg?ssl=1) I haven’t thought about this time in my life for years, literally, until last spring when I found myself walking in Mexico City’s Polanco district. I stumbled upon a free display of Dali’s artwork in a medium that brought it to light in a wholly new and wonderful way.[](https://i0.wp.com/mywalkabout.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/89f24-img_9437.jpg?ssl=1) Come down the rabbit hole with me and see Dali as you may have never seen before. _“ Intelligence without ambition is a bird without wings.” – S Dali ### Share this: * [ Email ](https://mywalkabout.net/salvador-dali-in-polanco/?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20Salvador%20Dali%20in%20Polanco&body=https%3A%2F%2Fmywalkabout.net%2Fsalvador-dali-in-polanco%2F&share=email) * [Post](https://x.com/share) * [Share on Tumblr](https://www.tumblr.com/share) * [ WhatsApp ](https://mywalkabout.net/salvador-dali-in-polanco/?share=jetpack-whatsapp) * [ Nextdoor ](https://mywalkabout.net/salvador-dali-in-polanco/?share=nextdoor) * [ Threads ](https://mywalkabout.net/salvador-dali-in-polanco/?share=threads) * [[ * [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) * [ Reddit ](https://mywalkabout.net/salvador-dali-in-polanco/?share=reddit) ### Like this: Like Loading…
