Artistic Calendar Venus December | oil on canvas by Roberto Piaia

Description

Executive Poetics of the Painting

Artistic Calendar- December: Venus December, finally, the light of a candle warns of the upcoming solstice…”

As far as I know there are not many precedents to this idea of Roberto Piaia’s. Who has dedicated his work to symbolize the passage of time with a series of original works.

By representing the same extremely beautiful model, depicted each time in a different way. According not only to the month, but also to the artist’s own poetic fancy. Artistic Calendar- December:

In the Symposium, Pluto has one of the participants state that there are two sorts of Venus: Venus Caelestis and Venus Naturalis. To say it in the Latin translation.

Roberto Piaia’s Venus is as Naturalis as ever

In fact, she is a plastic and active figure of a daughter of the Earth. A carnal symbol of Life, whose beauty the artist exalts in a plastic and dynamic way. Artistic Calendar- December

The myth of Venus is also tied to the cycle of the seasons; she is a symbol of spring, but also of eternal feminine changeability. So it’s not difficult to imagine her as the protagonist of a series of pictures tied to the months of the year, in a calendar.
