The Birth of Aphrodite

Inspired by travels to Paphos, Cyprus — the legendary birthplace of Aphrodite — this original collage combines turquoise and gold hues with photographic textures of beaches and ancient mosaic fragments. The layered composition allows the goddess to emerge symbolically, evoking themes of mythology, memory, and transformation.
The work blends ancient narrative with contemporary mixed‑media technique, inviting viewers to reflect on the connection between place, story, and personal mythology. Completed and framed in 2019, this one‑of‑a‑kind artwork is ideal for collectors drawn to Mediterranean atmosphere, mythological depth, and expressive collage.
