Clueless Cupid

Pant Man

This, however, is the star attraction. Pant Man has been fascinating me since I first spotted him over a year ago. After far too much research I actually found a document which had some commentary on the sculptures here. The link has long since vanished, but I do remember reading that this was supposed to be Cupid. This is fair enough, with the bow and all, but there was no explanation for the pants and the question mark. It is all left to your own imagination.

Nuclear Family

Still no idea about that one. Both statues are female though.

Cupid On Point

So does anybody know anything more about this work?

While I was here, I thought I would have a look around the area. There were signs that somebody had been sheltering in those rocks for a few days, which is an unusual sight for Paphos. Bear in mind though, that I took these shots a few months ago, so if you want to go and give a homeless person a Christmas Meal you should check first to see if anybody actually resides there.

Other than that, there is a nice stream here, if you like that sort of thing. The best time to visit though, is in the Spring Time. The area is awash with strange, yellow fruit then, from these trees. From memory, they were about the size of grapefruit, and looked a bit like severely pock-marked apples.

Final Shot

One last look at Cupid. Ok, compared to the Art Nest, which we featured last month, the Ayia Napa Sculpture Park, and even Geroskipou Park, this park is small by comparison. However, if you have five minutes to spare, it is worth a little look.

Last year we blogged about the Pafos2017 Sculpture Park that had been erected in Geroskipou. Well, a little bird told us that more work was afoot, so we took the camera to have a look...

Geroskipou Sculpture Park

As part of Pafo2017, a new Sculpture Park was commissioned in Geroskipou. Inspired by local history, legends and traditions, ten Cypriot and foreign sculptors have created on-site works drawing on the history of the area and, in this way, leaving behind them the traces of the European Capital of Culture. That's what the blurb says anyway. So what are they like?

Ayia Napa Sculpture Park

The Sculpture Park in Ayia Napa was built in 2014, and since then has been delighting tourists and locals alike with its eclectic range of art work. Last summer we visited the area and had to include it on our itinerary. What started as an orderly photo shoot soon descended into an excited clamber along the many paths that criss-cross the landscape of the park. Far too numerous to feature them all, we present some of the many weird and wonderful sculptures you can see when you visit this wonderful park.
