"Venus" – A Fusion of Elegance, Resilience, and Vibrant Artistry "Venus" is Aurelia's bold reinterpretation of Botticelli's timeless "Birth of Venus," infused with vibrant pop art aesthetics and layered with rich symbolism. Set against a striking green background symbolising growth and renewal, the artwork features a Dove carrying the blue and yellow tones of the Ukrainian flag—a subtle nod to the hope for peace and unity. This graceful detail harmonizes with the dynamic energy of the piece, elevating Venus as a figure of resilience and beauty in challenging times.
Adorned with branded jewelry, Venus exudes sophistication and luxury, seamlessly blending her classical elegance with modern fashion. The goddess’s flowing neon-coloured hair and expressive face reflect the artist’s philosophy of embracing vibrant palettes to uplift the spirit. This radiant reinvention turns Venus into a powerful icon of strength, optimism, and timeless allure.
Venus, long celebrated as the goddess of love and rebirth, is reimagined here through Aurelia’s unique lens. The interplay of contemporary opulence and mythological depth invites viewers to explore the timeless resonance of Venus’s story. By incorporating bold neon hues and exquisite details, the piece transcends its historical roots, making it a statement of renewal and vibrant artistry.
"Pop art allows me to take something classical, like Venus, and breathe modern energy into it. The green backdrop was a deliberate choice—it’s a healing color, a way to bring balance and renewal to the piece. I wanted this painting to feel alive, bold, and unapologetically vibrant." - Aurelia
