“Senicitas” was painted with oil on canvas in 1927-1928, when Dali completed military service. This is one of the works in which the themes and ideas appear that dominate the artist’s work in the future. Here, Dali works in a more pronounced surreal style, as in “The Wounded Bird”.
Senicitas in Spanish means “a little smoldering coals.” Smoldering coals are red strokes attacking a limbless body.
In the body, although it resembles the male, rather than the female, there are no genitals, while the hand to the right of it takes the form of the male genitalia. There are also several female bodies without heads; one of them is covered with dark veins, and the hand squeezes the breast full of milk.
Dali uses various techniques: some images are written quite realistically, as, for example, the female body below in the middle, while others – like birds – are indicated only by a contour.
