This painting humorously confronts the idea that contemporary tastes and desires are truly modern. Repeating the image of an ancient Roman figure alongside the phrase “Everything you like, I liked 2000 years ago,” the work creates a playful connection between antiquity and contemporary culture.
Through repetition, vivid Pop Art colors and irony, the painting suggests that despite centuries of change, our fascination with beauty, pleasure, status and self-expression remains surprisingly familiar. Trends may change, but human desires are perhaps far less modern than we like to imagine.
Dimensions: 85*120cm
Technique: : Acrylic paint on canvas
