Sandro Botticelli was an Italian Renaissance painter celebrated for his mythological compositions, flowing line work, and idealized depictions of beauty. His work embodies grace, symbolism, and a poetic sense of movement that defined early Florentine art.
Simonetta was inspired by The Birth of Venus. I looked to the figure of Spring and the delicate florals on her gown rather than Venus herself. The motif was reinterpreted through embroidery on silk charmeuse, balancing fluidity with structure. Its soft sheen echoes the light and drapery of the Renaissance.
