This piece pays tribute to Cy Twombly's iconic series dedicated to the Roman goddess Venus, where he seamlessly integrated inscriptions into his works. Building on this legacy, the artist offers a fresh interpretation. This concept reexamines the notions of love, beauty, and female sensuality, even for a goddess, suggesting the necessity for periodic reflection and respite from her usual responsibilities.
Within the painting, the artist envisions Venus on holiday, engaging in the simple pleasures that everyday humans enjoy. Through the lens of this artwork, the goddess takes a pause, capturing moments with a camera, and indulging in leisure—a departure from her divine duties. This imaginative portrayal adds a contemporary layer to the classical theme, infusing the timeless concept of Venus with a touch of relatable humanity.
