Hombre sobre delfín, Oviedo

The urban sculpture known by the name Man on dolphin, located in the Plaza de los Ferroviarios de Oviedo, above La Losa de Renfe, in the city of Oviedo, Principality of Asturias, Spain, is one of more than a hundred that adorn the streets of the aforementioned Spanish city.

The urban landscape of this city is adorned by sculptural works, generally commemorative monuments dedicated to important people at first, and more purely artistic since the late twentieth century.

The sculpture, made in bronze, is the work of Salvador Dalí, and is dated its inauguration in 1999. This sculpture is signed and numbered by the artist from Girona, and is the third of a series of nine, the original is dated in 1974, a moment in Dalí's career, in which the author seeks new expressive techniques for his imagination. In 1982 it was cast in bronze with a patina that gives it a green tone. With this sculpture, Dalí tries to describe his dreamlike vision of the Mediterranean and classical mythology.
