Aphrodite (Petite), 2022

Carol Muthiga-Oyekunle   Emerging artists

Inspired by the Ancient Greek goddess of love, beauty, and desire lifts the hearts of people and helps them appreciate everything beautiful in life. She is the mother of Eros and is considered the matron deity of marriage.

This striking artwork features a radiant figure, exuding confidence against a vivid pink background. The focal point is a woman adorned in a mesmerizing collage of colorful Betta fish fins, merging art and nature seamlessly. Her complexion is a deep, lustrous shade, which magnificently contrasts with the bright explosion of blues, oranges, pinks, and yellows enveloping her form. A single, bold flower adorns her ear, harmonizing with the intricate patterns of her attire. The piece captures movement and vibrancy, as if the fins are in motion, celebrating fluidity and grace. The work's unique combination of human form and aquatic elegance challenges traditional boundaries, making it an enthralling visual experience that commands attention.
