The Muse
Original title: La muse
Two enormous blue eyes look through a wall of tiles at an armless Venus.
The antique torso, capped with a piece of sky, stands in the centre, and a curl of wood unwinds from it. On the left a violin and bow rest on a tree stump; on the right there is an empty frame. The whole studio is here, waiting. The muse is not the statue. She is the gaze behind the wall.

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.
