The Birth Of Venus. (Today)

The Birth of Venus (Today) A reflective view of the classical myth of the Greco-Roman tradition: The Birth of Venus (Rome)/Aphrodite (Greece). Mythology is a recurring theme in the history of art, perhaps because of part of the same basis of expression through metaphor, this rhetorical figure of thought explains human knowledge and experience from a complexity that cannot be abstracted or taken literally, and that through artistic tradition it transmits cultural and anthropological knowledge, therefore, this discovery of the humanity, and especially, of my European culture, has meant one of the major bases of my thought and of my expressive evolution, and in my artistic work, the European mythology builds a new dialogue by reviewing our cultural bases and our collective and individual identity. “The Birth of Venus”, is used prolifically in the European Renaissance. There is an increase in the use of myth in a reconstruction of the many realities and interpretations that this myth contributes. Venus is a complex mythological character, worshipped and vilified equally, with characteristics attributed to the subjective interpretations of the moment, while Venus becomes a protective symbol materialized in temples, such as the one that Caesar erected under the invocation of the mother goddess.
