Two influential artists that inspired Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech (or Dali for short)were Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. He met Picasso in 1926 after being expelled from his school. He also started growing a flamboyant mustache after Biegor Velazquez another one of his influences. Even with Picasso and Miro both influencing him he still had his own unique style of art.
