THE ARTIST 

Born in Compiègne in 1991, Laura Ozymko lives and creates in Reims. A painter and draughtswoman since 2018, her universe is inspired by the aesthetics of classical sculpture and expresses the ambivalence of human feelings through phobias. 

THE WORK 

According to Greek mythology, the Charites: Euphrosyne (Joy), Aglaé (Splendour) and Thalie (Abandonment) are the three daughters of Zeus and Eurynomé, a sea nymph. These divinities, capable of bestowing a gift on Humanity, were part of the procession of Apollo, Aphrodite and Dionysus. The entirely handmade work Χάρις (Charis / Grace) presents an artistic study of Antonio Canova's Three Graces, a masterpiece of European neoclassical sculpture, from a new angle. The three goddesses are the perfect representation of beauty, grace and movement. Nestled in the depths of white Carrara marble, this celestial combination calls to mind a timeless ideal of Art. In myth, the Three Graces may never have featured prominently, but in art they have become the protagonists of countless works. Muses, they have represented the ideal of feminine beauty for every era and every artist for over 2,500 years.
