Salvador Dali | Woman Aflame

Salvador Dalí (1904–1989)
Woman Aflame
Bronze sculpture | Signed edition

Dalí conceived the Burning Woman — the woman whose body becomes flame, whose silhouette is consumed and transformed — as one of the defining images of his Surrealist vision. The female form dissolving into fire is not destruction but metamorphosis: the body as a site of alchemical change, unstable and luminous at the same time.

Woman Aflame translates this vision into three dimensions with the hyper-real precision that characterised Dalí's sculptural output. The figure manipulates and mutates the human form with the same controlled strangeness that defined his painted surfaces — each element of the composition precisely considered, the overall effect one of dreamlike inevitability. This is not a painting rendered into bronze. It is a work conceived for sculpture, for the play of light across a three-dimensional surface, for the particular authority of an object that occupies physical space.

Dalí remains one of the most collected Surrealist artists in the world, with a robust and active secondary market. His sculptural editions are among the most sought-after works in his catalogue — tangible, displayable, and entirely unlike anything produced by the generation that followed him.
