Benzaiten resting on Nelson’s Coconut Chair

€ 2200 

€ 2200 

Benzaiten Resting on Nelson’s Coconut Chair by Valentinos Vassiliou is a contemplative exploration of stillness, spirituality, and modern design. The composition juxtaposes the serene figure of Benzaiten — the Japanese goddess of wisdom, beauty, and music — against a bold, geometric background that pulses with rhythm and warmth. Wrapped in crystalline folds of white, she embodies both fragility and divinity, her meditative presence suggesting a quiet dialogue between the sacred and the everyday.

The iconic Nelson Coconut Chair, a symbol of mid-century innovation, becomes here a metaphor for Western rationality and structure — a modern throne upon which Eastern spirituality momentarily rests. This fusion of cultural references invites the viewer to reflect on balance, contemplation, and the intersection of two worlds: design and divinity, logic and intuition.

The luminous yellow background, patterned like woven light, radiates both energy and confinement. It’s as if Benzaiten sits within a cocoon of thought — detached, yet deeply connected to her surroundings. Vassiliou’s use of texture and color creates an almost sonic vibration, transforming stillness into something alive and resonant.

Ultimately, the work captures the artist’s signature dialogue between form, spirit, and identity. “Benzaiten Resting on Nelson’s Coconut Chair” is not merely a portrait — it’s a meditation on the coexistence of tranquility and intensity, simplicity and depth, where design meets myth and silence becomes luminous.
