Pygmalion and Galatea
Oil on canvas, 35x30 cm, 2020
As the ancient Greek myth says: Pygmalion was a sculptor on the island of Cyprus. He created a beautiful statue of a girl and fell in love with her. The sculptor gave her gifts, dressed her in expensive clothes, but the statue continued to be a statue, and love was unrequited.
During the holiday dedicated to Aphrodite, Pygmalion turned to the goddess with a prayer to give him a wife as beautiful as the sculpture he had made. Touched by such love, Aphrodite revived the statue, which became the wife of Pygmalion.
