Birth of Venus Painting

The myth tells that Venus was born from the fertile waters of the sea when Saturn or Cronos, god of time, tore the genitals of his father Caelos (who is none other than Chaos or Uranus) and threw them into the sea and then Venus would be born, due to the friction of the foaming waves, being transported by the wind to the shore of the island of Cythera in Cyprus, appearing this unique goddess, naked and on a huge seashell. The title Birth of Venus first belonged to Botticelli’s most famous work, which represents the arrival of the goddess Venus after her birth, being received on the seashore by Cephiro, the god of the wind, Aura, the goddess of the breeze. , and one of the Hours of the Seasons, Spring, which wears a mantle decorated with floral motifs to clothe the goddess, just at the moment when the roses are detached from the mantle and fall next to Venus, since tradition says that, as goddess of love, roses arose with her. William presents us with a unique abstract interpretation inspired by the birth of the goddess of love as a transformation of chaos, where the central shape of the painting reminds us of the figure of a sea creature, like that of an octopus, whose head is simultaneously compared to that of a female womb. This painting has been made without using brushes, the technique used is called drip flexography, in a laborious dynamic that consisted of successive overlapping of areas of the same canvas to first find the figure of the octopus, and then that of the flowers. The cracking of the paint is due to the combination of an acrylic resin with the paint, producing these cracks that recall archaeological textures from the past. I would like people to relate my work to the reminiscences of chaos in their lives as a catharsis of the fear that: "everything must end in ruins" and thus feel that after all, life with its forms will adapt to the transformative changes of chaos. -Signed on the back -Does not have a decorative frame
