The Three Graces, 2023.
In this work, we see two stories joint as one narrative, both of royal origins – one of historical nature and the other, mythical. This particular version of 'The Three Graces' sculpted by Antonio Canova in 1813 that was originally commissioned for Empress Josephine, the first wife of Napolean l. 'The Three Graces' depicts Zeus' three mythical daughters, Euphrosyne (Mirth), Aglaea (Elegance) and Thalia (Youth and Beauty).
The silk scarf is a hand-drawn garment of Vittorio Accornero, commissioned for House Gucci by Rodolfo Gucci, son of the founder, for Princess Grace Kelly in 1960. Accornero, by hand, designed and painted 43 different varieties of flowers, plants and insects across 37 different colours.
