Each series consists of a large number of works in which one scene is juxtaposed with another scene in a contrast of atmosphere, tone, theme, and figures. Together they form a chain that links the images and reveal  the inner layers of imageries.

The works in both the Apocalypse and Salome series reflect aspects that are intricately related. In one we have John the Evangelist, on the other, John the Baptist. They share various characteristics through the tribulation and unfolding of dramatic events.

In the Book of Revelation we have fantastic and incredible visions. In Salome, we find John the Baptist addressing Herodias – the wife of King Herod- and her daughter Salome, in a voice, tone, manner and language which appear similar to those of John the Evangelist.

In the Revelation, St. John admonishes Jezebel and her immoral ways and proceeds to describe a dual femininity symbolized on one side by the heavenly mother as the immaculate woman represented by the sun and, on the other, by the earthly woman represented by the moon. The heavenly woman flees from the seven-headed menacing red dragon, whereas the earthly woman sits on a seven-headed scarlet beast and she is clothed in purple and scarlet filled with gold and precious stones and holding in her hand a cup full of abomination of her immoral behavior. She is the Great Harlot representing Babylon as the earthly whore who copulates with men and kings.

In the story of Salome, and particularly in Oscar Wilde’s Salome , John the Baptist admonishes Herodias as the wicked woman who desires and lusts for having sex and making love with young men. She is called an adulteress, and so is her daughter whom John addresses as the "daughter of adultery."

When Salome appears she descends from the moon as immaculate and pure, but once on earth, she takes the sexual side of femininity and goes after John who rejects her advances. She dances with seven veils, a kind of strip tease performance in which she takes off one veil at a time until she dances naked before the multitude of men.

In the play Salomé, Oscar Wilde makes various use of the interchange of names between the two Johns, as well as between the Great Harlot and Herodias, with the inferences that both reflect and express sexual desires and lust, and, consequently, are viewed as whores. The story of Salomé and the visions of the Apocalypse have spectacular imageries that are inspiring and intriguing to the imagination of artists in works of literature, music and the visual arts across culture. Painters such as Titian, Caravaggio, Cranach, Redon, Regnault, von Stuck, Klimt, and, especially, Gustave Moreau have done some fabulous paintings of Salome. Also, there are the famous illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley for Oscar Wilde’s play. In music, there is Richard Strauss great opera with its magnificent music.

The story of Salome brings together compelling figures with characteristics combining highly appealing and provocative scenes. At the center of the action is the protagonist, the mysterious Princess who is the primary subject of The Dance of Salome ,which refers to all the works in the series. The composition of practically every scene depicts Salome dancing from her first appearance as the moon princess to her descent to earth and through the dramatic dance finale.
