Nuestro primer NFT - Venus de Tacarigua”Diosa Ancestral de Venezuela” [ESP-ENG]
Así que puse manos en la obra, decidiendo publicar la representación digital de una Venus de Tacarigua, que es una figura que siempre me ha atraído. En la zona de arte precolombino venezolano de la Galería de Arte Nacional siempre están presentes estas figuras. Me impresiona de estas, y de todo el arte precolombino venezolano, la técnica, el método para elaborar estas obras, pero sobre todo, la ternura con la que están hechas, lo frágiles que son en realidad, y lo mucho que se han mantenido en el tiempo, a pesar de.
Según wikipedia estas Venus venezolanas son:
La Venus de Tacarigua es una deidad antropomorfa adorada por los habitantes indígenas que se localizaron alrededor del lago de Valencia o de Tacarigua, entre los actuales estados Aragua y Carabobo de Venezuela. Los pueblos pertenecientes a esta zona son agrupados dentro de la llamada «cultura valencioide»
y fueron realizadas entre los años 1000 y 1500 de nuestra era.
Para mí son la representación de la divinidad, representada a través de la simbología, unos curiosos amuletos de fertilidad que se le ofrecían a las mujeres a las que se le dificultaba concebir. Otra manera de pensar en ellas es conceder el valor identitario a cada una de estas Venus, que llevan el nombre de una zona donde fueron encontradas, y esto es motivo de mucho orgullo para aragüeños y carabobeños por igual.
Cada detalle de estas Venus está asociado a la fecundidad, no solo por la representación del sexo, también las adornaron con ojos de ranas y sapos, que están asociados a la fecundidad fructífera, y precisamente as ranas, que milenios después sirvieron para detectar el embarazo cuando Lancelot Hogben, un zoólogo, descubrió que las hormonas del embarazo provocan que las ranas desoven a destiempo.
Antes que llegaran los conquistadores con sus dioses, ya existía la idea de un ser portador de vida, capaz de regalar vida, amor, y garante de todas las semillas: La mujer. Después de todo es una diosa.

Our first NFT - Venus de Tacarigua "Ancestral Goddess of Venezuela"
Greetings dear #Hive community! Today I am pleased to bring this post, with our first NFT. It's been two weeks since I've been working, along with @celf.magazine in the curation of NFT content, it's not a curation as such, because we don't give votes to anyone, but it's a very nice job, making visible the creative work of hundreds of artists, who every day upload their ideas, designs, digital drawings to this platform NFTShowroom, and by relating to this page and understanding its operation, I was overcome with the desire to publish a NFT myself too.
So I got down to work, deciding to publish the digital representation of a Tacarigua Venus, which is a figure that has always attracted me. In the pre-Columbian Venezuelan art area of the National Art Gallery there are always these figures. I am impressed by these figures, and all Venezuelan pre-Columbian art, the technique, the method to elaborate these works, but above all, the tenderness with which they are made, how fragile they really are, and how long they have lasted, in spite of.
According to wikipedia these Venezuelan Venus are:
The Venus of Tacarigua is an anthropomorphic deity worshiped by the indigenous inhabitants who were located around the lake of Valencia or Tacarigua, between the current Aragua and Carabobo states of Venezuela. The peoples belonging to this area are grouped within the so-called "valencioid culture" and were made between the years 1000 and 1000.
and were made between the years 1000 and 1500 of our era.
For me they are the representation of divinity, represented through symbolism, curious fertility amulets that were offered to women who found it difficult to conceive. Another way of thinking about them is to grant the identity value to each one of these Venus, which bear the name of an area where they were found, and this is a source of great pride for Aragüeños and Carabobeños alike.
Every detail of these Venus is associated with fertility, not only by the representation of sex, they were also adorned with frog and toad eyes, which are associated with fruitful fertility, and precisely the frogs, which millennia later served to detect pregnancy when Lancelot Hogben, a zoologist, discovered that pregnancy hormones cause frogs to spawn at the wrong time.
But what really inspires me about the Venus of Tacarigua, is the symbolic character of identity that was generated later, with its discovery by ancient archaeologists, who brought this majestic figure to our times, and although, forgotten by some, it is still present in some places of central Venezuela. That is why I wanted to make a colorful, graphic and contemporary representation of these ancestral forms. Bringing a little piece of hidden history to the blockchain universe.
Before the conquistadors arrived with their gods, there was already the idea of a being that was the bearer of life, capable of giving life, love, and guarantor of all seeds: The woman. After all, she is a goddess.
Thank you for coming here and sharing your love
