Created during the late 2nd century BC by Alexandros of Antioch, The Venus de Milo is believed to depict Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty; it was unearthed in the 19th century and it is currently at the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The statue has greatly influenced modern and contemporary art, such Salvador Dalí’s Venus de Milo with Drawers or Yves Klein with Venus Bleue who gives to the masterpiece a kind of kitsch in the trend of Pop-art.

In the same spirit of appropriation, this photo depicts the Venus as a fashionable sculpture with a real natural dress of Bougainvillea flowers. She is wearing sunglasses which are putting her among of the hottest celebrity of the media world.

You can see this artwork in the whole context of its series. You also can order the following photos which are at a similar price

This series is telling the temptation of Siddhārtha Buddha by the Goddess of Beauty, in an imaginary paradise full of flowers. As principle of Buddhism, the Middle Way should be followed between the extremes of sensual indulgence and self-mortification. But it is not easy to comply strictly with this recommendation.

Seeing photography is more an analogic process than a logic one, with a sense of humor too. This is how the series should be appreciated as a fairy tale.

Here some hints:

Visual elements like flowers in the eyes or at the ears of Buddha are a diversion of the pictorial maxim of the three wise monkeys.

Time is also evolving in the story from night to day, between the seasons as fresh flowers became dry or dead.

Because these two types sculptures are iconic to Western and Asian cultures, the series can be seen also as the encounter of the two worlds.
