This one-of-a-kind surrealist oil painting by Dominique Amendola is a playful and imaginative reinterpretation of Salvador Dalí’s "Dream on the Beach"—infused with a bold surfer twist. Bathed in the golden glow of sunrise, the scene features a red vintage Ford parked on a strange beachscape, in front of a monument to a giant surfboard. The bizarre yet fascinating composition includes neglected ruins, dreamlike hills that resemble car forms, and a visual rhythm that reflects both homage and satire.
While Dalí explored surreal symbolism, Amendola’s version adds a fun layer of modern surf culture and road-trip nostalgia. The painting’s warm tones, surreal elements, and subtle humor make it a perfect choice for collectors of surrealist art, surf culture lovers, or anyone who appreciates unexpected creative blends.
