Birth of Venus 2150 AD.
.
As most of you know I am very interested in the reception of antiquity and it’s remaining importance in our current times. So with all the struggles we have and the dangers we face I wanted to depict an iconic scene in a way that fits our reality. I am sure we all know the idyllic and beautiful paintings of Aphrodite/Venus emerging from sea in azure waters and blue skies with singing and dancing Nymphs or Erotes, but what would we see today or in a hundred years? We will have ruined our planet and our oceans killing animals and ourselves in the process! It is a horror to think about.
.
It is time for change!
