Salvador Dali's series of works known as "Dalinian Horses" is a quintessential example of Dali's fascination with the symbolism of the horse. Horses were one of the motifs frequently used by Dali invariousworks,as theyrepresentedfor himstrength,freedom,elegance and the spiritual dimension ofman.
Dali often referred to figures from Greek and Roman mythology, such as Pegasus and the horses of Helios pulling the chariot of
the Sun.For him,the symbolism of the horsewas universal and multidimensional.Alsoevident in "Dalinian Horses"arereferences to medieval art andthe Spanishheritage fromwhichhe came.

As one of the leading Surrealists, Dali transformed familiar motifs into unusual, often bizarre forms. In "Dalinian Horses," horses are depicted in an unrealistic way - their silhouetteselongate,blurringthe boundariesbetweenreality and dream. In thisway,Daliexplored the limits ofimaginationand thesubconscious.

The "Dalinian Horses" series was executed invarious techniques, including lithography and printmaking, whichallowedtheartisttoexperiment withdifferent styles and effects.As a result,he was able tofullyshow thedynamism anddrama of the horse figure. In Dali's series, horses are not ordinary animals - they often hover above the ground, alluding to transcendence and the spiritual dimension of life. Their silhouettes aresometimes imbued with anxiety,whileremainingmajestic. In Dali' s work,the horse is a symbol ofstrength, butalso of ambivalent emotions:freedom andwildness, andat the same time subjugation and oppression.
