Oil painting
Antique
A marble faun plays the flute: the stone has kept the face, life has kept the hands.
The head belongs to a classical statue, tight curls and a knowing smile. The hands on the flute are flesh and blood. Between them there is no body at all, only a wall of rock veined in rust and cream by poured acrylic. A Greek key frieze and a broken column in the corner tell you where the tune comes from.

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
