All artists have a quirky way to teleport their vision to their viewers. Some perplex us, while some leave us astonished for centuries to come. Be what it may artists, and their processes have amused people since the first painter came into being. We have gathered 10 such eccentrically bizarre artists famous for using the weirdest tools or tactics to create the strangest paintings-

Salvador Dali

The surrealist Salvador Dali baffled people with his artistic ponderings, wild statements, and off-the-wall personality till the day he took his last breath. His weird paintings serve as a testament to his eccentric artistry. Dali, riveted by the realm connecting unconsciousness and reality, took extreme measures to draw “hand-painted dream photographs” on his canvas. His persistence on hallucinatory dreamscapes gave way to many classic pieces. 

Evident in dripping pocket watches, bleak expansive landscapes, erotic yet gnarled nudes, liquefying bodies supported by precariously placed crutches, toppling scrawny elephants, that painted him the magnate and weirdo of the artistic sphere!
