The girl, the face we can't see, is standing on a square/cube.
In the ancient world, the Earth was depicted as a square. Its unstable position symbolizes changes in life, the cyclical nature of time and feelings.
The character is leaning on the Sun, which is a symbol of the source of Energy.
Two men are trying to conquer her - Mephistopheles and a modest young man. Their bodies are intertwined, which is a symbol of struggle and human relationships.
Symbols of the city are hidden in the paintings, they are masks, fans, bridges over canals, romance and eyes, symbolizing the phrase “beauty is in the eyes of the lover”, and beauty, in turn, as we know, will save the World.
The roses we see in the hands of the young man are a symbol of Venice.
Venetians have a legend, the plot is very similar to “Romeo and Juliet”, where roses bloomed at the moment when two descendants of warring clans fell in love with each other.
And it happened on April 25th. Since then, every year on this day men give their beloved one rose each.
