Artist reaches childhood dream by having exhibit in The Dali Museum

Yamandu Canosa's exhibit "The Visit" has officially opened at The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, fulfilling a lifelong dream for the artist. Canosa, who moved to Spain at the age of 21, cites Salvador Dali as one of his primary inspirations, and now he has the chance to display his own work in a museum that celebrates Dali's legacy. The exhibit aims to bridge Canosa's contemporary experiences with Dali's surrealism, allowing visitors to explore the emotional and imaginative landscape that connects the two artists. Curator Peter Tush highlights the significance of showcasing how Dali's influence continues to resonate across generations of artists.

Canosa expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to share his work, stating, "It’s fantastic, to share with the people of this country my work in this extraordinary palace of Dali. " The exhibit not only serves as a platform for Canosa's artistry but also as a testament to Dali's lasting impact. As "The Visit" opens to the public this weekend, it promises to engage viewers with its rich connections to the surrealist tradition. This exhibit marks a pivotal moment for Canosa and the local art scene.
