Ode to Botticelli
2024
Giclée print on Hahnemühle FineArt Pearl paper.
Size 30x20 cm without white border.
In this contemporary, free-form adaptation, Venus is formed from image and nature. Her dress was created in Photoshop from a photograph of a scallop shell, a subtle reference to the shell she stands on in the original painting. Her hair is created with a photograph of seaweed from the Oosterschelde, giving the image a vibrant, organic feel. This visualization bridges the gap between art history and landscape, and between myth and matter.
Mariëtte Aernoudts is a self-taught photographer who captures stories in images. What began with capturing portraits evolved during the pandemic into a tranquil exploration of natural elements in her immediate surroundings. Her work has received recognition both domestically and internationally, with exhibitions in Tuscany, Paris (Paris Photo 2024), and Arles (Faces/Visages 2025).
