We are all ONE (The Birth of the Goddess of Genesis) Painting

Nuwa (Chinese: 女媧) is a Goddess in ancient Chinese mythology best known for creating mankind and repair the pillar of heaven. She was the mother of Chinese nation. I was inspired by this ancient myth and have the desire to create an iconic image with such divine and magic power just as the Roman Goddess Venus whose functions encompassed love, beauty, desire, fertility, sex, prosperity and victory. As the creation of mankind are of the same ancient origin, and we with all the living beings survive on the earth abiding by its nature law, therefore I named this art work as “ We are all ONE”. The inscription “萬物一體” on top right side shares the same meaning. Nuwa is also regularly called the “Serpent Goddess”, so in ancient arts, Numa is often depicted with a snake body and a human head. Instead of drawing a snake body, I put a long yellow shawl spiraling round her with curvilinear movement. This idea came from one of the most widely beloved Buddhist divinities— Guanyin (Bodhisattva)—whom with a long piece of shawl waving around her and would not drop on the floor. “The Birth of Venus” by Sandro Botticelli depicts the goddess Venus, having emerged from the sea as an adult woman, arriving at the shore. As I want to represent the oriental charms in my painting, my goddess is born in a lotus pond with long black hair. She is exercising her magic power with her hands while looking amiably at two bouncing carps, suggesting that she is the incarnation of meekness and majesty.
