This is a female torso by Milița Petrașcu, although undated, it echoes archaic forms and primal symbols. The exaggerated hips and breasts speak to the ancient archetype of the Mother Goddess, a figure of fertility and abundance revered across cultures from the Paleolithic Venus figurines to the goddesses of ancient Greece and Rome. The simplified form draws on a deep well of collective memory. Consider the Venus of Willendorf, whose ample curves similarly embodied the life-giving power of the feminine. Over millennia, this symbol has transformed, yet its essence remains. From the sacred female statues to the modern celebration of the female form, the enduring connection to the Mother Goddess archetype is a powerful force, engaging our subconscious on a deep level. This image of the female form is a potent reminder of the cyclical nature of symbols. It resurfaces, evolves, and takes on new meanings, yet never fully loses its connection to its ancient origins.
