In ancient Greek mythology, Aphrodite appeared into existence from the sea foam, when the titan Cronus (the god of time) cut genitals of his father Uranus (the God of the heavens and sky) and threw them into the sea by the island of Cyprus. Aphrodite is a mighty goddess of love, the main driving force of life itself. She is older than Olympian gods, but she is the goddess of everlasting beauty and youth. Aphrodite is also known as the goddess of sex, procreation, harmony, pleasure, joy and peace. She is also venerated as Aphrodite-Euploia, protector of sea and sailors.
Each statue is made by 3D printing process of UV-cured non-brittle expensive resin. The whole process of 3D-printing can take up to 16 hours. Then it's painted in black primer with a silver/gold metallic compound imitating the look of an antique silver/gold statue of the vintage gothic style. And finally coated with protective lacquer. For the Black option, the statue is finished in black primer without silver or gold metallic wax. 3D printed models may have high level of intricate details and geometry that's impossible to achieve in mass production processes.
