Artist Statement

In this painting of Aphrodite, I wanted to explore the many facets of womanhood and femininity, and the ways in which these qualities are intertwined and interdependent.

Aphrodite is often associated with beauty, love, and passion, and I hoped to capture these qualities in this painting. She is depicted with a warmth and sensuality that is both alluring and inviting. Her gown is made of roses, a symbol of both beauty and fragility, and a testament to the transformative power of love.

But Aphrodite is more than just a symbol of physical beauty and passion. She is also a mother, a giver of life, and a nurturer. This is represented in the painting by the vine that sprouts from her gown, a symbol of life-giving nourishment and sustenance. She embodies the multifaceted nature of womanhood, with all its complexities and contradictions.

Women are more than just objects of beauty and desire; they are creators, nurturers, and life-givers. They are powerful and resilient, and their strength lies in their ability to embrace all aspects of their nature.
