“Sea Shell” is a contemporary interpretation of the archetype of Aphrodite — the goddess of beauty born from the sea.
Originally painted in 2015 and carefully renewed in 2025, this work carries two layers of time: the first impulse and the mature return.
The female figure emerges from an abstract ocean of color like a living shell holding the memory of water, silence, and light.
This is not a literal nude, but a symbolic birth of femininity — quiet, powerful, and timeless.
The expressive painterly surface enhances the sensual tension between vulnerability and strength, making this work a statement piece for refined interiors and serious art collections.
