Dalí, one of the 20th century's most iconic surrealist artists, continues to inspire with his dreamlike works that challenge the boundaries of reality. Gayatri Ruia said art has always been a passion of hers and thus an extension and integral part of Phoenix Palladium’s vision. In the past, the mall has put on display exquisite metal art by Valay Shende to works by artists acquired by Phoenix malls over the years including Thukral & Tagra, Ravinder Reddy, and William Kentridge

The piece reflects Dalí's deep interest in the interplay between art, mathematics, and the cosmos, captivating audiences with its bold, imaginative vision. "Cosmic Rhinoceros" merges earthly strength with cosmic symbolism, embodying Dalí's philosophy and transforming the sculpture into an exploration of strength, virility, and the surreal. This specially curated Dalí-inspired menu by Chef Domenico Iannone will be available for a week, starting from November 23 at the St. Regis Mumbai.
