I'm aware of his obsession with Gala, his female influences, and the death of his brother. Perhaps, is there any connection with his paintings and the philosophy of Kant and how?

Salvador Dali was an Impressionist Era painter. According to the few interviews he was willing to give, and a number of biographical profiles, his work was often inspired mostly, not by other painters, but rather by 13th century tapestry and french Gothic architecture. However, most of his work depicts his anger with organized religion, his own struggles with his homosexuality, and a consistent use of opiates. There is also evidence to show that he had an infatuation with the coloring used in 1st and 2nd century European fresco, considering how closely related his colors of choice are to the natural colors available in the Mediterranean area during that era.

From an early age Dalí showed a talent for art. Between 1921 and 1926 he studied intermittently at the San Fernando School of Fine Arts in Madrid. In 1924 he was suspended for a year for insubordination, and in 1926 he was expelled for his rebellious behavior, which included a refusal to take an examination because he felt that his teachers were not qualified to judge him. However, during this time he perfected his meticulous drawing technique by emulating the 17th-century Dutch still-life masters and 19th-century French and Spanish genre painters. Dalí’s paintings had attracted attention in student exhibitions, and in 1925 he had a successful one-man show at a Barcelona gallery.
In his early work Dalí was influenced by the abstract art of his compatriots Pablo Picasso and Joan Miró, and he experimented with various avant-garde styles, including cubism. After 1928 he returned to an earlier interest in the so-called metaphysical painting of Italian artists Giorgio de Chirico and Carlo Carrà. The strong concern of the metaphysical painters with the evocative power of symbols suggested deliberate investigation of dream imagery according to the principles of Sigmund Freud, the founder of psychoanalysis. Dalí’s precise realistic technique was admirably suited to the creation on canvas of the hallucinatory atmosphere of dreams.

Maybe but I don't believe any of that stuff. Dali was influenced by Dali's brains, which must be kind of a labyrinth.
Anyway I love and respect his works because he was a visionary.

Well, he also was influenced by the Netherlandish painter Hieronymus Bosch.
