Valentinos Vassiliou

“Social Elephant” by Valentinos Vassiliou is a sharp and ironic commentary on ego, vulnerability, and digital validation. A naked figure sits exposed and unguarded, yet wears a geometric elephant mask—symbolizing memory, weight, and possibly emotional armor. The only element obscuring the figure’s nudity is a social media “like” icon strategically placed over the genitals, drawing immediate attention to how self-worth and identity have become entangled with online affirmation. The contrast between the ancient symbolism of the elephant and the fleeting emptiness of a single like creates a poignant tension.

Vassiliou questions how we perform and protect ourselves in a hyperconnected world. The figure is anonymous, faceless under the mask, yet still caught in a cycle of self-display and need for attention. Is the elephant a mask of strength—or a burden of never-forgetting the judgment of others? The painting feels intimate and absurd, evoking both shame and satire. “Social Elephant” reveals how even in moments of supposed authenticity, we are still performing—shielded by icons, hunted by metrics, longing for something as ephemeral as a digital tap.
