Svetlana Petrova: Botticelli, Birth of Cat Sandro Botticelli: The Birth of Venus

Svetlana Petrova is a contemporary artist who takes digital images of the Great Masters
and Photoshops her cat Zarathustra into them, and she is the creator of the Fat Cat Art
project. She met a talented cat, and she adopted it when her mother passed away. They
named the cat Zarathustra. According to Svetlana, her cat, Zarathustra, saved her from the
subsequent depression. Her mom loved the cat so much, and I think this is the reason why
he developed such a sensitive personality. The cat was the reason why Svetlana felt good
again, because she was so happy that she made her cat a model for portraits. She made
Svetlana Petrova: Botticelli, Birth of Cat. She likes to put pictures of her cat in famous
portraits. This is her way to have fun, to create new artworks, and to make them fabulous.
He imitated Sandro Botticelli’s famous piece of artwork, The Birth of Venus. Her
inspiration for all his artwork is his mother’s cat, Zarathustra, which gives him strength
despite the many problems he has gone through. In his artwork, there is no controversy;
whenever he creates artwork, he always mentions the names of famous artists because it
shows respect for them. In addition, because of his works of art, famous pictures made by
famous painters and artists are given attention, which can bring joy and attract people.
Through her artwork, Petrova strives to entertain people while also introducing them to
