Danae A: "Two" by Giovanni Nova
“Beauty is at once the ultimate principle and the highest aim of art,” asserts Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. This series by accomplished photographer manages to illustrate this philosophical musing on the subjects of beauty and art. Nova brings both together in a memorable collection.
Danae’s phenomenal physique is framed by sequined bands of black and green material. This scant costuming is seen in other galleries by the photographer. It’s an effective device to contrast the horizontal placement of these bands of color against the uniform hue of flesh tones, contours, and angles. Open-toed stiletto heels adorn the vixen’s petite feet. The model’s hair is swept into a sophisticated up do. The styling accentuates Danae’s pretty face. Her bronze flesh is tanned and faultless.
This photo shoot is conducted in a kitchen setting which stirs the imagination. One can only image watching Danae performing the domestic chores of cooking and washing dishes in her bare attire. Wood cabinetry and granite are the dominant elements of the ultra-modern kitchen setting pictured in “Two.”
Danae’s majestic form is highlighted in the introductory image for this gallery. The enchantress perches her nude body on top of a row of cabinets. One of her legs rests on the countertop beside her while the other gives her balance planted on the floor. The model’s fit and toned physique is hypnotic.
The model is photographed with the shimmering green accent fabric arranged in a criss-crossed pattern across her chest in the first showcased image. Nova’s creativity with the use of this accent is appealing and indicative of his photographic talents. Danae’s refined facial features are also highlighted in this up close picture.
Danae faces the camera directly in the next photo. The heavenly creature is seated at the edge of the granite counter with her thighs generously parted. This pose gives viewers the opportunity to admire the smoothness that’s clearly exposed. A countenance of seductiveness is unmistakable on Danae’s lovely face.
Giovanni Nova offers a tastefully explicit view of Danae’s most intimate space in the final picture from “Two.” The model’s bottom is photographed at a close range as Danae extends her legs upward. Low-key lighting softens the edginess of this image.

The Piano

When she is alone she approaches the piano like a lover, teasingly at the beginning. She straddles its bench and lays her delicate hands across the keys. Her fingers caress the contours of the ivories, feeling their cool polished sheen. She runs her hand lightly across two octaves. She doesn’t press hard enough to produce a tone, but the soft growl of the keys springing back to position is satisfying nonetheless. At the pit of her stomach is the beginning of something good.
The child of professional musicians, she was taught piano from a very early age. But to her the lessons felt cheap and perfunctory, and she resisted them. She rebelled against the rigidity with which her musical education was prosecuted, and she quit when she was eighteen. But she did love the piano. She loved the sounds it produced, and the way it made her feel when she played. It was only the tedium of rehearsals and recitals she couldn’t stand. So, in private, she continues to play.
The first notes are plaintive, a tentative call to a mysterious lover. Her fingers dance gracefully, striking gorgeous tones that evoke love and longing. She feels her confidence build, and her hands move with speed and skill. The bass notes resonate through the floor, the bench, and into her body. A flush comes over her face and chest and she plays harder—thrashing at the keys with fire and passion.
The song she plays is one of her own devising, wrought from the heavy emotions in her heart. It is at once beautiful and disturbing.
A pressure builds from her stomach and lower back. It grows upward and outward, and her forehead glows with dewy perspiration. The sounds emanating from the piano can be heard throughout the house, and culminate with a dramatic crescendo. She freezes, shudders, and exhales. Her hands are at rest, the piano silent.
