​

Her comical approach allows her to present taboo topics, such as depression and anxiety, in a relatable manner that is well received by her audience.

 

Venus’ Work

Venus Libido’s work is filled with bright, vibrant colors and reflect “a personal irritation and bitterness that has stemmed from experiences of misogyny, patriarchy and a constant fight for equal rights for women in the workplace”. Most notably, the vibrant colors contrast with the “animosity of the narrative, creating a subtle passive aggressiveness”.
