Haiii on Dalí is part of Haiiileen’s Haiii on Art series. This is a body of work that explores surrealism through contemporary material experimentation. It delves into fluid dynamics and color-based perception. Created in 2020, this piece draws conceptual influence from Salvador Dalí’s surreal landscapes. It translates that legacy into a liquid, vibrational language rooted in movement, flow, and transformation.
The work exists at the intersection of painting, physics, and consciousness—where pigment behaves as both material and metaphor.

Conceptual Framework
This artwork investigates surrealism not as imagery, but as process.
Rather than depicting dreamlike symbols, Haiii on Dalí allows gravity, viscosity, and color interaction to become the surreal agents themselves. The hydro-drip technique removes rigid control. It invites chance, flow, and entropy into the creative process. This approach mirrors Dalí’s interest in subconscious forces. It grounds the work firmly in contemporary material exploration.
Color operates as frequency.
Movement becomes narrative.
The surface records a moment where intention and surrender meet.
The piece reflects Haiiileen’s broader philosophy: reality is fluid. Perception is layered. Art is a portal between states of awareness.
Material & Process
- Hand-mixed acrylic pigments
- Hydro-drip pouring technique
- Gravity-guided flow and controlled suspension
- Layered curing to preserve cellular textures
- Framed to preserve surface integrity and depth
Each mark is the result of real-time physical interaction—no digital manipulation, no post-production alteration.
Installation Components
- Primary Component:
- Framed hydro-drip acrylic artwork
- Display Requirements:
- Neutral or softly lit wall preferred
- Natural or ambient light enhances color depth and cellular movement
- Viewing distance of 4–6 feet recommended for full perceptual effect
This piece functions as a standalone visual portal. It also integrates seamlessly into immersive or curatorial environments. These environments focus on light, perception, and contemporary surrealism.
Archival Significance
Haiii on Dalí marks a significant point in Haiiileen’s development. This transition was from photography-based experimentation into material-driven abstraction and process-based surrealism.
It marks:
- The evolution of the Haiii on Art series
- A bridge between classical surrealist influence and contemporary experiential art
- The foundation for later light-based, portal-driven installations
This work contributes to the artist’s long-term investigation into fluid consciousness, vibrational color systems, and perception as an active experience.
Exhibition & Context
