Venus Rising

The goddess of Love, worshipped also as goddess of the sea. Her symbols the shell, the pomegranate and the sapling are featured in the painting.  The figure here is from a Roman copy of a Greek statue and is majestic; by contrast her surroundings depict a cool ironic post-modern realm.
