In this painting, from the goddess series, I reflect on the image of Aphrodite.
Reading and studying myths and legends about this goddess, she opened up to me in a new way.
I used to think that it was about sincere and pure love, but as it turned out, it is more about free love. Let's just say - I saw a courtesan in her.
In general, this goddess is quite a daring, freedom-loving and obstinate woman. With character and pride.
That is why I chose red - the color of passion and rebellion.
She is framed by the color yellow, like the light of the sun “She comes out in the rays of light”
I chose the pose itself for Aphrodite to be a little flirtatious, because for me now this goddess is about “free love.”
