Title: Rebirth of Venus
Medium: Acrylic on Canvas
Size: 72 x 48 in
Year: 2024
A contemporary reinterpretation of The Birth of Venus where rebirth is not idealized, but earned through experience, fragmentation, and self-reconstruction. Emerging from the water, Venus is reimagined as a living symbol of healing—marked, imperfect, and present—while music, color, and movement replace mythology as the forces that carry her forward. The surrounding figures—Troopertinas and Joe Hueso—shift the scene into a personal narrative, where identity is fluid and expression becomes a path back to self. The composition holds a tension between vulnerability and strength, suggesting that true beauty is not in perfection, but in the courage to rebuild, to feel, and to choose oneself again.
