The Beauty of Perspective

Amara de Tori’s mixed-media artwork “The Beauty of Perspective” explores how colour, texture, and perspective interact. Venus is depicted in a monochromatic picture in the piece, which is surrounded by a variety of canvases that are solid colours and have soft hues that blend into one another. An abstract, geometric shape of superimposed rectangles is produced by layering each canvas. A Greco-Roman Venus is sculpture thatstaring straight at the viewer is portrayed in the painting’s culmination. This artwork challenges the audience’s view point by showing the beauty that can be found in various perspectives. The Venus sculpture’s smooth lines are contrasted with the canvases’ layered, abstract composition by the artist, who also draws attention to how subjective perception isand asks the spectator to consider their own definition of beauty. We are reminded that there are always multiple perspectives on the world through the use of colour and texture, which highlights the richness and complexity of viewpoint.
