Gala. Once she had a simple name Elena Dyakonova. She first noted that Salvador Dali was a real genius. By the time they met, a man was on the verge of madness and was tortured by his own complexes. Gala was his first woman, the muse, model, mother, secretary, manager. She took care of everything: took care of him, organized the exhibitions, found the customers. She helped Salvador Dali to believe in himself. He signed his paintings as “Gala-Salvador Dalí” and believed that thanks to her he had become a real artist.
