With The 3 Graces , Arestakes reinvents an ancestral theme from the history of art, freeing himself from classical canons to deliver a profoundly organic and contemporary vision of femininity.
Three slender figures, modeled in patinated terracotta with warm reflections, stand in a silent choreography. Their bodies unfold flexibly, in a dialogue of forms that are both abstract and evocative. The faces are barely sketched, allowing each viewer to project their emotions and stories onto them.
A vibrant harmony emanates from the whole, a gentle, almost sacred force. These three presences embody beauty in diversity, feminine solidarity, the invisible bond that unites beings beyond words.
Through his treatment of the material, the artist combines the erosion of time with the surge of life, making the work as timeless as it is current.
A sculpture that commands respect, invites contemplation, and touches on the essential.
