Salome

Listen the analysis of the artwork

Listen to the accompanying poem of the work

This sculpture was made and belongs to the coffee bar “BLUE”, in Xanthi. It is called Salome and in the shadow is depicted a female body in dancing figures. So I’m talking about the power of the female body. That’s why he doesn’t have a face. I’m not talking about a woman’s personality. I’m referring to the power women’s curves and “toys” have. The title refers to the story of Salome who managed to convince Herod to bring him the head of Ioannis the Baptist on a plate (if you observe the sculpture up close you will also see this particular moment).

The original design (of the shade) is not mine. I found it online and decided to use it. I looked for its creator to get his license, but I couldn’t find him…

Salome

View of a well shapely female body. 

Locked in a house.  

Prisoner in her soul and body. 

Doomed to be beautiful and attractive. 

Unable to escape. 

But,so powerful to melt the opposite sex. 

Left to a rather false pleasure.  

And John’s head on the plate, fills the gaps of the wild soul…  

Ask something else Salome…
