Empowered Venus by Milo Kardashianized

“Empowered Venus by Milo Kardashianized”
150 x 200 cm, Acrylics on canvas, 2022

In this striking work, the artist reinterprets the famous Venus de Milo, one of the most iconic sculptures in history, reimagining it through the prism of contemporary culture. The classic silhouette of the goddess, traditionally associated with grace and the ideal of beauty, is here transformed with modern proportions evoking current body standards, popularized by media figures like Kim Kardashian.

The deep blue background highlights the sculpture, which seems to bathe in a mystical glow. This "empowered" Venus proudly wears her new forms, oscillating between the iconic and the ironic. A pixelated cursor, symbol of the digital age, floats near her, as if to recall the invisible hand of the click that shapes our perception of beauty and the body in the age of social networks.

“Empowered Venus de Milo Kardashianized” challenges the viewer to reflect on the evolution of beauty standards over the centuries and the influence of pop culture and social media on our appreciation of the human body. Through this fusion of the classical past and contemporary norms, the work questions notions of power, femininity, and the persistent influence of cultural icons in our daily lives.
