This drawing vividly captures the mystical moment of awakening, inspired by the ancient Greek myth of Pygmalion. The drawing portrays Galatea at the precise moment of her transformation, visually representing her transition from lifeless stone to vibrant existence. Her expression is one of awe and wonder, as she begins to process the world around her with fresh awareness. Beyond its mythological roots, the artwork conveys a deeper spiritual meaning—the journey from a heart of stone to a heart of flesh. It reflects the idea that all individuals undergo transformation, awakening to their true purpose and divine calling. Galatea’s emergence into life serves as a metaphor for personal and spiritual growth, an invitation to embrace change and step into a fuller existence.
