Robert Joyette’s Votive Venus is a radiant tribute to the Aboriginal Caribbean woman—the keeper of memory, resilience, and sacred continuity.
In this work, Venus is not the Greco-Roman goddess idealized through a colonial lens, but reimagined through the strength and beauty of the Carib and Kalinago women whose bloodlines endured genocide, enslavement, and forced assimilation. These women carried culture in their bodies, language in their songs, and resistance in their silence when history tried to erase them.
The title Votive Venus invokes the ancient practice of offering votive figures as prayers or dedications to the divine. Robert transforms this concept into an act of remembrance: a votive to the Aboriginal Caribbean woman, whose survival itself is a form of worship, a sacred offering to future generations.
Through luminous tones and form, the painting speaks to the resilience of women who endured the violence of colonization, the systemic erasure of Black Natives across the Americas, and the ongoing struggles of identity in the Caribbean diaspora. Yet in her stance, there is not defeat but dignity. She is the original goddess of these lands, rooted in earth and sea, standing as testimony that Indigenous beauty and spirit cannot be erased.
The Votive Venus is not only art—it is prayer, resistance, and ancestral homage. It asks us to honor the women who were the first mothers of the Caribbean and to continue their legacy of strength, sovereignty, and survival.
