A vibrant, Art Deco classical reclining Venus. Here the Goddess sits against sumptuous indigo drapery, glancing away while holding two gilded arrows. Her form is painted with stylised realism that recalls the Old Masters, yet the backdrop erupts into a bold Art Deco mosaic: turquoise, teal, lavender, and gold. The painting balances sensuality and structure - soft flesh against crystalline geometry. The arrows reference Cupid's agency but held by Venus, hinting at beauty, power, art, machine, and choice, while the fragmented background evokes a world between dream and architecture. This piece embraces the classical figurative legacy adapted with industrial age aesthetics. The rich but restrained palette and overall design make it a striking focal piece for both historical & modern interior settings. Shipped with wire and simple black wood frame, ready for hanging.
