This month has been exceptionally fulfilling! Thank you and for letting my work be a part of the Eros exhibition and for being able to donate this piece for such a great cause!
I am truly overjoyed that my piece has found its new home (dear anonymous bidder thank you!) and that proceeds from the auction will support the purchase of essential medical equipment for the Athens General Children’s Hospital “Panagioti & Aglaias Kyriakou”, contributing to the early diagnosis and treatment of childhood cancer.
Looking forward to creating more from the heart with love and for love!

Description
This design reinterprets Le Chevalier aux Fleurs (painting by Georges Rochegrosse, 1890) through a nuanced examination of the dialectic between love, lust, and moral aspiration. Within the painting’s narrative, the knight resists the seductive allure of the flower maidens in pursuit of an idealized, transcendent love.
The gilded armor signifies discipline, virtue, and the knight’s unwavering commitment to spiritual purpose, while the sculptural embellishments of flowers encroaching upon its surface evoke the persistent presence of earthly temptation—sensuous, alluring, and gently invasive.
The semi-transparent fabric introduces an element of vulnerability, suggesting that resistance to desire is neither absolute nor untroubled, and that the knight remains permeable to emotional and bodily experience. By synthesizing rigidity and delicacy, restraint and seduction, the design emphasizes the human condition inherent in the original work: the inevitability of desire as both a threat and a formative force within the pursuit of ideal love.
