Why the nymphs? About beauty and nature

All my art is around two things: nature and beauty, and both get expressed together in the shape of the nymphs, and more exactly in the dryads, the nymphs of the trees.

Tamzyn Dubois as a dryad (modest version).

When someone sees an image like the one above, many uncultured trolls will just say I made an image with a hot woman with big body parts. 

That comment is extremely stupid and misogynistic.

The reason is that she's not a woman, to begin with, but an idealization of nature, female power, nature, love, and abundance. She's a nymph.

I can't post images of the nymphs in classic painting, because internet has become extremely breast-phobic and misogynistic, in addition to very puritanical. But you can go to any classical painting museum and if you just look to enough paintings, you will discover them soon.

 

Those women are found in the forests, streams and wild places, that are surrounded by animals and fauns, are the nymphs. Other divinities also represent them or derive from them, like the Liberty of Delacroix, that shows one of her breasts, or the Three Graces.

Nymphs symbolize an ideal, aesthetic but also spiritual, of power, bravery, life, sensuality that rules and is not a slave, and respect and love for nature.

"The dark forest" - the lady of the forest, in the darkest dense forest.

The forest here symbolizes the same as in Robert Frost's poem:

"The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
  But I have promises to keep,   
 And miles to go before I sleep,   
And miles to go before I sleep."

A primal desire to go into nature, be an animal again, or less civilized and human. Or the place where they belong, because of their own nature, these nymphs.  

Beautiful princess

Other ways I use to depict my women is like princesses or ladies, this usually just because they look great. I don't do it so often but I like it, as they have part of those attributes like the power, the beauty, and the dignity.

More often I do warrior nymphs, whose purpose is to protect the forest. Like in the one below:

"Warrior nymph (modest version)".

"Nymph of the roses"
