Semiotics is the idea that we attach a meaning to all things. We name something but in a sense of connotation it could mean different things to different people. One example is "The Birth of Venus" by Sandro Botticelli. (Look above)
This painting, represented an earthly goddess who inspired love in humans and represented a perfect female. Another interpretation is that the painting suggests an appropriate behaviour for a bride and a groom.
To me this painting represents femininity and divinity of the gods. The shell represents the birth as a Perl (jewel) is born. The woman next to Venus with the pink blanket is the obscurity which is trying to cover Venus. The sense of evil and darkness is represented through this female since she is in a dark part of the painting where the colour is grey and obscure. The angel on the other hand, may represent the divinity that has brought Venus but at the same time is carrying another woman. The flowers thrown represent spring with all the bright colours.
