Aphrodite: The Promise of Aphrodite (Ancient Greek Goddess, Modern Art)

A beautiful mixed media painting of Aphrodite, created by Greek-Australian artist Leni Kae. She is depicted daydreaming, deep in visions and thoughts of love. Tones of soft pink, grey, blush and lavender - reminiscent of the unconditional love she represents.

This portrait of the goddess of love and peace has been created using pencil, watercolour, acrylic and ink on paper. Please add BlueThumb framing to receive this artwork framed.

This artwork is from the new series “Awakenings from my Ancestors” - a new visionary series by Australian artist Leni Kae, featuring channeled artworks (and poetry) drawn through meditations and dreams. They retrace a journey through the spiritual landscape of her heritage as a Greek-Cypriot, delving into the visual memories and energies of her ancestors. Whether touching on mythology, legend, generational stories or recorded history, her work reignites both passion and investigation into ancient worlds.
