About this artwork
According to Hesiod, Aphrodite is a daughter of Uranus. His son Kronos, on the advice of his mother Gaia, cut off his genitals with a sickle blow and "threw them behind him" into the sea. The blood and the seeds mixed with the sea, which foamed all around and gave birth to Aphrodite, who then went ashore on the coast of Cyprus and hid her nakedness behind a myrtle bush.
Venus (Greek Aphrodite, "the sea foam born") was born in Greek mythology from… a shell, which in turn, according to ancient opinion, arose from the sea foam. The best-known representation is by Sandro Botticelli, "La nascita di Venere" ("The Birth of Venus").
With the motif presented here, Ralf Schmidt has created a contemporary interpretation of the classic motif, with a strong and self-confident Venus that has both feet on the ground and leaves the shell behind.

« Everything that touches you deeply has to do with the way we move here on earth. Personal feelings are transferred to others and become universal. »
Ralf Schmidt is an experimented German artist whose paintings have been widely exhibited on a national level, as well as in the Netherlands. His figurative works portray inner realities, as well as individual aspects and situations that connect with "collective feeling". Schmidt's compositions have their own unique image structure, wherein the motif represented in the middle is "torn from the original context".
