Different Arts Of The Women Goddess

As you know there are some artworks that no ones hardly pays attention to. They give it a glimpse than move along their way. The theme of this exhibition is to let you realize the women goddess. I choose this theme because not every one would take the time out to let their mind venture out and know the true meaning of the women goddess and what role they played in the past and present and probably the future. Secondly I just love women But mainly just giving the concept and ideas of what the different women goddess from different arts. As you have heard stories gods or goddess play a big role in human civilization in the past and now. For example different types of human culture praised in a god or goddess. The women goddess represent the  many things such as the humanification of mother hood, purification and spritual healing in one self and the birth of humanity.


      The three pieces of art work is similar to one another because it represents women. The only difference is that these artworks are from different time periods in the past as well as culture. They share appearances of artwork of the human body of women. Based on my analyses it is not effected by where or when the work was created cause as I said they are different and from different time periods as well as cultures. The common feeling I have about this is the respect and honesty for women. Basically giving me an idea of what the goddess woman do to help create generation and generation of people from their cultures or so.

  2. Javier,
    being a female, I absolutely approve of the theme you've chosen. :) My favorite artwork is the "Buddhisy Deity" from the Qing Dynasty.
