On this page, it says “is this Dali’s apprentice?” The artwork has a surrealist envisionment including objects such as eggs, elephants–optical illusions–and a characteristic style that does resemble many of Dali’s paintings. I found out that these are all original art pieces by Russian painter Vladimir Kush. The artist makes no note of Dali in his biography, which leads me to believe that his childhood experience may have influenced these creations, but clearly he got inspiration from some of the masters… he says: “Art school was a world of a new inspiration. The class I attended allowed total artistic freedom. I learned much about the famous Renaissance painters, impressionists, post-impressionists, and contemporary artists. Here I painted my first surreal picture.” -Adriana de Barros, from Scene 360
