Erotic 

Yiannis Moralis rendered this painting using geometrical forms and a muted palette, creating a study of the human body’s contours and volumes. Notice how Moralis uses circular and rectangular shapes to suggest the curves of the human body. The combination of these shapes represents a kind of primal, geometric sensuality. This reduction of the human form echoes ancient Cycladic figurines, simplified and idealized depictions of the human form. It also speaks to a longing for classical purity, a motif seen across various periods. It reminds me of Botticelli's Venus, reborn, abstracted into the modern age. The geometric figures resonate in the collective subconscious, engaging viewers on a deep level. The abstracted form has the power to convey a sense of timelessness and beauty that transcends any particular style. This continuous dance of shapes and symbols is proof of cultural memory and continuity, resurfacing in new forms across time.
