GALATEA; CREATION OF PYGMALION - Original oil painting by Gelovna size 14inX11in UNFRAMED canvas.
Life played an irony in Pygmalion, he hated and disguised women but as an artist his most gorgeous artwork was a statue of a woman so beautiful that even he himself fell in love with it. Fed up with the women he knew, he carved a statue that outshined them all. Then, during a festival for Venus, he wished for a wife just as beautiful as his creation, showing how life can throw unexpected curveballs.
