The union of the three graces
The artist's work "The Union of the Three Graces" embody the concept of beauty, love or fertility, but also generosity and friendship. According to mythology, the Three Graces were three goddesses, daughters of Zeus and the nymph Eurynome, who In turn, she was the daughter of the famous titan Ocean.They were the goddesses of spell, joy and beauty.
Sofía Balut Páez is passionate about the great masters and their majestic works, drawing inspiration from them to create her own version in this new artistic era.
The union of the three graces moves away from the canon of academic beauty, especially due to geometric faces inspired by the cubist language. The use of this language in the work recalls the deep charm that the artist has for this movement.
Union, honesty and love are one of the themes that she works on in her work, referring to her story, in her real life, portraying herself with two friends from her childhood. Union is the basis of everything.
