"As she talks, her lips breathe spring roses: I was Chloris, who am now called Flora."

- Ovid

Chloris: a deity in ancient Greek mythology, the name meaning "greenish-yellow", "pale green", or "fresh." She was a Nymph who was associated with spring, flowers and new growth, believed to have dwelt in the Elysian Fields. Myths had it that she was abducted by Zephyrus, the god of the west wind who transformed her into a deity known as Flora after they were married. She was thought to have been responsible for the transformations of Adonis, Attis, Crocus, Hyacinthus and Narcissus into flowers.

Art From An Alternate Timeline.

In Joli’s work, she masterfully transports these imagined pieces into our world, providing a window into an alternate history through her artistic insight, encouraging viewers to delve into and reflect upon a past distinct from ours.

Experience how imaginative visions from other worlds can challenge and expand our understanding of history and ourselves. Perhaps by contemplating these alternate histories, we can better envision a future history—one that future generations can look back on with pride.

Every painting of Joli whispers of worlds unseen. Here, the traditional is inverted, and women take center stage. Not as objects for the male gaze, but as powerful embodiments of strength, intellect, and influence.

Each of Joli’s paintings are a window into a parallel world: a world unshackled by prejudice, a resonant testament to the power of diversity, of what could have been, and what can be...

Embrace the artistry that dares to ask "what if?" and "why not?" Let each piece become a testament to the belief in the importance of representation and the power of imagination to shape a brighter future.
