Title: Venus of Willendorf, 2025
Size: 80 x 80 cm
Material: Acrylic on canvas

With the work “Venus of Willendorf”, the artist takes up a famous prehistoric figurine. She presents it as a symbol of fertility, femininity, the collective archetype of the feminine. An earthbound figure that radiates dominance and dignity in its fullness. By doubling the figure – once in red, expressive corporeality, once as a naked outline – the artist wants to give viewers a reflection on presence. While the colored Venus embodies matter, flesh, and life and seems to approach the viewer, the sketched figure represents the idea, memory, or a projection, like a fleeting apparition, between the original function of the feminine and its contemporary perception. With this juxtaposition, the artist not only addresses the origin of the concept of femininity but also its transformation through time, culture, and interpretation – a dialogue between the primordial and the modern.
