Salvador Dali Limited Edition (2013)

Dance of Time I

A Salvador Dalí image

When Benjamin Levi, President of "Ambrosiana Foundation" and most important collector of the Dalí biggest sculpture collection worldwide, decided to elevate Florence as reference location for a Salvador Dalí event museum, Visconti had the inspiration to create a surrealistic artwork piece dedicated to the famous artist.

Mr. Levi has transferred to us all his passion through important anecdotes of real life with Dalí being able to capture the essence of the origin of every Dalí masterpiece. His expertise has been a precious guideline for the full process of designing and engineering of the Visconti creation. Our work has been extremely appreciated and we have been given the right to make the pen standing on an original reproduction of the sculpture masterpiece called "Profile of Time"©.

The pen is taken from an image of Salvador Dalí "Dance of Time I" © and rests on another image of Dali "The Profile of Time" ©.

SYMBOLOGY of SURREALISTIC COLLECTION

Visconti did not want to make a surrealistic copy but intended to transmit the Dalí concepts on the pen in order to make it really surrealistic.

Lobster, one of the great obsessions of Dalí, hard peel and soft interior: this concept has been revisited by the material of the pen in AG 925 enameled but that leave to see the soft interior represented from the ink. Pen is delivered full of ink.
Newton: we can see two open windows on the cap that allow to see the pen interior, the feeder and the nib.

Drawer: the drawer on "Woman Aflame" represents the feminine sensuality, but in the Visconti pen represents the writing sensuality and it is used to fill up the pen.
Melting Watch: we could not resist to reproduce the "Dance of Time I" that décor half portion of the body.
Bleeding Heart: the "Unicorn" is bleeding, but on our pen it is not real bleeding blood... it is represented from the ink that slide gently towards the nib.
