Description

Eros is not the pleasure of sex, it is love, which is not the carnal act, but is the spiritual good, here in this work made apparent, Eros an elusive shadow of a desire to tangere the object of one's own good, the platonic that materializes, the idea of ​​love that is realized on the erotic edge with greater volume of feminine flesh. Eros is by the famous ancient sculptor Alexander of Antioch, whose imagination has transported him to the creation of the most iconic sculpture of female perfection, the Venus de Milo, as Michelangelo's David is for the male counterpart. To create such perfection, he fell in love with what he sculpted. What would have happened if his falling in love turned to madness? Greedy hands would have clasped the buttocks of her Venus falling into the provocation of beautiful features and therefore desperate, to ask oneself: "O Goddess, who I made you of stone, why can't I blow you a soul?”
