The Great Goddesses
I've always been interested in Greek mythology. For this project, I wanted to base myself on four artists: Remedios Varo, Mark Ryden, Nicoletta Ceccoli, and Benjamin Lacombe. What these artists have in common, is that all their subjects are either magical, mythical, or fairytales. I used watercolors to paint three of the Great Goddesses.
1. Athena - the goddess of wisdom, courage, inspiration, civilization, law and justice, just warfare, mathematics, strength, strategy, the arts, crafts, and skill.
2. Aphrodite - the goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation.
3. Hera - the goddess of women and marriage.
