Naked woman with dripping hair

The painting titled Naked woman with dripping hair evocatively captures a nude painting (nu) of a woman emerging from the water, reminiscent of the classical Venus Anadyomene iconography associated with the goddess Venus (Aphrodite). The figure's dripping hair and the inclusion of a scallop shell symbolize fertility and femininity, drawing inspiration from mythological stories of Aphrodite’s sea emergence, possibly linked to courtesans like Phryne. Rendered on canvas using oil paints, the work exhibits an expressive style that merges classical motifs with modern Expressionism.
