Artwork Description:
This postmodern combination of antique artifacts presentation, confronted to the destructive war symbols of the present, which is marked by modern scientific leaps and rapid technological advances, including the existence and continuous production of enormous quantities of costly, continuously fast developing, and extremely lethal military hardware, globally wise. Therefore this artwork represents the everlasting conflict between the good and bad in us humans, an awkward interpolation and clash between creative and selfdestructive drives, so typical for human beings, and so tragically recorded through human history. This painting motif dominant represents the marble head of Aphrodite, from the ancient kingdom of Salamis, early 4th century BC, displayed in Cyprus museum, symbolizing the victory of art and creativity, against the destructive forces, including my sincere, but probably naive and futile hope, that the good in us humans will prevail eventually our overwhelming destructive drives.
