"Eva Fortis," a captivating painting measuring 100x50, offers a remarkable reinterpretation of Botticelli's Venus as the biblical Eve. The symbolism within this artwork is both profound and intriguing. Adam's presence is subtly alluded to through the red background, an allusion to the Hebrew word "Adam," meaning red.
The central focus of this masterpiece is Eve, brought to life as Simonetta, the very same Simonetta portrayed in Sandro Botticelli's iconic masterpiece, "The Birth of Venus."
While art historians often regard Botticelli as an adept but somewhat idealized portraitist in the quattrocento tradition, Simonetta's extraordinary beauty has been confirmed not only by Botticelli but also by other prominent artists, painters, and poets of her era. Botticelli's female figures, characterized by their slender forms, long flowing hair, almond-shaped faces, and luminous eyes, embody a timeless beauty that remains captivating even centuries later.
In "Eva Fortis," Simonetta, portraying both Eve and Venus, is adorned with delicate shark tattoos—a symbol of strength in Christian iconography. These tattoos infuse her character with a sense of power, resilience, patience, and restraint. The ethereal depiction of Eve emerges from the water, intertwined with the symbolism of Venus, while the transcendent beauty of Simonetta unites these elements seamlessly within the canvas. "Eva Fortis" invites viewers to contemplate the convergence and strength of art, myth, and the enduring allure of beauty across the centuries.

Sylwia Wenska is a contemporary Polish painter. A graduate of Interior Architecture from the Academy of Fine Arts in Cracow, Sylwia's creative prowess extends beyond traditional boundaries. She is a multifaceted artist, specializing not only in interior design but also in stage costume design and the crafting of scenography components.

In recent years, Sylwia's artistic focus has shifted primarily towards the realms of painting and drawing, where she has found an avenue for unfettered self-expression and boundless creativity. For Sylwia, painting represents a profound sense of liberation. In a world governed by rules, regulations, and social norms, her artistic canvas is a realm where she can unleash her imagination without constraints.

Sylwia's art knows no bounds – it can be beautiful, grotesque, kitschy, provocative, or entirely distinct, guided solely by her personal vision. She cherishes the fact that within her creative space, there's no need for consistency, and she revels in the luxury of rapid evolution. Her work, whether in style, color, method, or subject matter, is in a constant state of metamorphosis.

Remarkably, Sylwia never relies on sketches, and the specter of creative block is foreign to her. She is a wellspring of inspiration, brimming with a surplus of ideas that flow effortlessly. In her own words, she resonates with Picasso's timeless wisdom, "Inspiration exists but it has to find you working." Sylwia Wenska is a true embodiment of this philosophy, as her creative spirit remains ceaselessly in motion.

Her portfolio is a testament to this ever-evolving artistic journey. Sylwia is known for her artistic "pirouettes," transitioning seamlessly from romantic portraits to bold and vivid renditions of a red rhinoceros, then onto a whimsical tapestry of fluorescent flowers, and even embracing iconic pop culture figures like the Powerpuff Girls.
