Gala as Gala Éluard Dalí

In 1894 Elena Ivanovna Diakonova, later known as Gala Éluard Dalí, was born in a family of intellectuals from Kazan (Russia). From a very young age she became the muse of painters like Max Ernst or André Breton. But it was not until 1932 when he married Dalí, when she became part of a creative relationship full of love, insanity and inspiration. Dali used to say that she was “the only one who saved him from insanity and an early death.” Dalí’s numerous paintings of her show the deep love he professed. “Signing my paintings as Gala-Dalí, I give name to an existential truth, because I would not exist without my twin Gala.” Salvador Dalí.
