In the original work, observe a natural and open landscape, you can see the sea and some coastal mountains where there are reflections in the water of the cliffs, then we see a table with reflections, a dry tree where a clock is lying, there is a surface flat where there are two clocks with malleable appearances, bone like melted, in one a fly is observed and in the other there are ants, then on the surface we see a being with a strange appearance, you can see a resemblance to a human being, who is lying down and asleep, is wrapped in another clock that covers him, as we know this painter is surrealist and his works have those amorphous components, which leave messages, this work is like a dream scene from a dream, that you have to look for the meaning.

In order to understand this work I had to disassemble it, look for each component and give it a meaning, I wanted to make my own work of art with my style and explain it from my visual perspective, let's start with the main background of the work, Salvador Dalí presents us in the background a landscape that corresponds to some coastal cliffs in Catalonia, a close-up view of his house, which the painter integrated into this work, to make it more personal from his own life experience.

wanted to recreate this scene by creating my own coastal cliff with reflections in the sea, as I am working in chiaroscuro, I wanted to give dark and strong shades to the reflection of the mountain, the intention is to make my own work with respect to what I am perceiving in the work of the master Dali.

We observe a table, a dry tree where a malleable clock is lying on its dry branch, here the artist wants to tell us is that the clocks, which melt, represent the time that passes in a different way, from that perceived by the human being, here You do not see the minutes and seconds, it is a way of seeing the past time as something that will never return, it is like a dead time, making allegory to the dry tree that holds the clock

I made a more branched tree and with that tendency to be an old and dry tree.

We can find two clocks on the flat surface, one of them is deformed and its shape is malleable, it has a defined time (5 and 55 minutes), but we see a fly that is close to the number 12, this has an allegorical meaning with the death, we can think that the artist tells us that life passes quickly when we waste our time, when we reach 12 o'clock on the clock death will arrive, we observe that there is another clock but it is turned upside down, there are ants on its surface, the teacher Dalí He had a phobia of ants and always referred to this insect with putrefaction, here we see again the message of death.

When I knew that I had to interpret this work in a drawing, I had to do it with my own vision of it, it would be somewhat easy to draw it the same, without leaving the original parameters, but that is not what the contest is about, that is why I wanted to create my own own vision of this character who is asleep, many ideas and they passed through my mind, until I reached this result, a character who is an old statue and has his eyes closed, that is, he is asleep, next to him is a clock, you can see the old and worn mechanism of the clock, making allegory of a life lost by the passing of time.
