This is a sculpture that I designed and sculpted. It all started from thinking, ‘what would it look like if Venus from Sandro Botticelli’s painting was standing in a beautiful figure as a statue?’ Venus from the picture is boasting her beautiful figure, but if it were to become a sculpture in real life, most of the body parts would be distorted. I tried to maintain the original figure as far as I could, while it doesn’t feel too awkward. The Venus in the picture is tilted sideways because of the wind blowing from the side, but if I were to convey that to sculpture, it would look a little unstable. So I made it look more stable by slightly changing the slope of its legs. The clam that Venus stands on and the waves beneath it are also carved out like a sculpture. However, there was a limitation in carving the thin hair. At first, I expressed hare hair as one piece like other sculptures, but then the hair part broke during delivery. So I separated the hair and put a magnet inside to make it easier to reassemble. I didn’t want to separate the finished statue like this, but it was a choice for the safe shipping of the statue. Please understand. I hope you like my statue.
