Artwork Description:
This painting of mine represents a surrealistic, postmodern combination of antique artifacts with military symbols of the present, which is marked by many of modern scientific leaps and rapid technological advance, including the existence and continuous production of enormous quantities of costly, continuously fast developing, and extremely lethal military hardware, considering globally wise. Therefore this artwork represents the everlasting conflict between existence of good and bad in us humans, the 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 was made with the figure of Venus de Milo, carved from marble by Alexandros, a sculptor of Antioch on the Maeander River about 150 BCE, which symbolizes my sincere, but probably naive and futile hope, that the good in us humans will prevail eventually our overwhelming destructive drives. Still, the hope dies last
