NOMINA, 2009, 3:49


The work is dealing with the iconic combination of Venus and Jesus.
A bluer is created between conversion and transformation of the figures, overlapping, inversion and braking of identity and image.
The middle ground and conscience visual inversion between pagan- Jewish- christen, masculine- famine, flash- spirit, beauty ideal- victim, iconic- mandan, the person-the idea.
The mutual fiscal resemblance between the two icons is the position of the legs, that represent there lacking of connection to the fiscal ground, and a tilted submissive had position.
The figure is gradually reveled, and reviling the entwined cartelistic of the two icons:
Clothing, thorns-flowers, hair.
At first the tormented figure is submissive her eyes close detached from her surroundings, but she open her eyes looking straight in to the views eyes, kissing her palms and the kiss appears as the stigmata, the crucifixion wound.
Relations of the flesh, seduction, beauty, lust- feminine kiss.
Crucifixion and murder the treason by Judah's death kiss,
The figure crucified herself with a feminine means of sensual beauty.
Jesus- Christianity's icon, the meal as a torched crucified victim, redeeming humanity's sins by being the sun of good, submitting to his cruel fate, ignoring/ abusing the body and flesh, elevation of the spirit. born aging after the baptism in the Jordan river, sacrificed clean and pure.
The crucifixion- recognize completely with a men, a Jewish men who lived a Jew, died a Jew and live of eternity as the father of Christianity.
Venues- The birth of Venus by Botticelli, 1482.
Born from the waive of the sea, standing on a seashell that represent immortality in Christianity. A bare famine image of beauty, goddess, women, her gazing in the air detached from her surrounding, ashamed (Venus Podica) covering her naked body, relations of the flesh lust and sine.
beauty, goddess, child, women, prostitute, passive divine object, relationship of lust, worship and validation of a famine beauty object.
The image of the lonely ,bare, victim/good representing much more then a singular human figure.
This questions of faith, gender ,image and sacrificed are coming to life in the body of the artist.
