Description

This piece is a reimagining of Botticelli's original "Birth of Venus" painting. I integrated the key visual element of the seashell in the form of the vibrant nautilus dominating the background. I also borrowed an idea from a more modern theory of Aphrodite/Venus appearing different to each of her human viewers, based on each individual's personal concept of ultimate beauty, which is why there are three version of the goddess in various poses and clothing to represent some subtle variation in representation of love and beauty but still unifying the character by having the same person as each of the figures.
