Because he was good at it and enjoyed it? Why does anybody decide to become anything?
He was born for it.

He attended drawing school at the age of 12 (he was said to be an excellent draftsman even then) and discovered modern painting on a summer vacation to Cadaques with the family of Ramon Pichot Girones (an Impressionist artist and friend of Picasso). Pichot became a mentor for Dali and encouraged him to explore his own style.

In 1917 at the age of 13, Dali�s father organised an exhibition of his charcoal drawings at his home for local friends and family, and he made his first public exhibition in 1919 at the age of 15.
