Original artwork description:

Three Goddesses.

The artist invites us on a surreal journey. Here, in the depths, where dolphins frolic and turtles swim leisurely, among coral gardens and shimmering shells, a truly magical spectacle unfolds.

At the center of this underwater kingdom is a familiar, yet reimagined, image. This is not simply Botticelli's "Birth of Venus," but a meeting of three icons, each of which has left an indelible mark on culture. Alongside the ancient goddess of beauty, floating in a giant shell, are two other, no less iconic figures.

The first is Marilyn Monroe, a cinema icon, the embodiment of Hollywood glamour and timeless sexuality. Her radiant red dress, a symbol of passion and allure, contrasts with the tenderness of Venus, yet blends harmoniously into the overall composition. Next to her is Minnie Mouse, a beloved figure of millions and an iconic Disney character, dressed in her signature red polka-dot dress.

The painting is striking in its multi-layered and dynamic quality. Three-dimensional elements - shimmering flowers, fluttering butterflies, nacre mother-of-pearl fish -create a sense of living, breathing space. Each element seems to be in constant motion.

The painting also references another famous work, Klimt's "The Three Ages of Woman." Marilyn Monroe embodies seduction and the power of feminine attractiveness. Young Venus, a symbol of eternal beauty and harmony. And baby Minnie Mouse - a symbol of childhood and joy.

The artist takes elements of classical art, pop culture, and mass culture, blends them, and creates something entirely new. It is a reflection of our era, where the boundaries between high and low culture are blurred, and images from different worlds can coexist and interact.
