Together with Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí, and with Remedios Varo and Esteban Francés, the painter Óscar Domínguez (Tenerife, Canary Islands, 1906 ? Paris, 1957) belongs to the constellation of names that Spanish painting contributed to the international Surrealist movement. His work draws on an iconography linked to his youth spent in the north of Tenerife, where he developed an irrational and overabundant conception of the enigmatic processes of metamorphosis that would be reflected in his work throughout his career.
