A sculpture with two distinct parts. On the front we can see a head inspired on the Venus from the British Museum. On the back of the sculpture we find a figure of Aphrodite or Venus, dressed, with open legs and a libidinous expression, showing erotic power. This work is inspired by the living language of hellenistic sculpture and mythology. At the same time, it is my own experience with the myth: the relationship with my wife, the artist Nina Murashkina, who posed as a model. The myth is renewed and updated with life. She is a Goddess.This statement I feel as true, as true as the myth is.
