Venus is the subject of this painting, the beauty and harmony of the female body, the vanity of women; the red shoes being an example of this vanity, and the prize she holds in her hand, the result of a competition between women, between Goddesses: a golden sphere. In that golden sphere is reflected the Studio where I painted the work; it is a historical document that speaks of a place, of a “where” the work was born.
The statuesque figure of Aphrodite stands as a pillar of a mythological and mysterious reality symbol of a time when gods ruled and humans suffered their whims. How much time of my life I have devoted to seeking the synthesis of Art and each time I have returned to the form and in the form I have found the essence.
