Galatea with plinth. I was inspired to make this sculpture after reading the Greek Myth of Galatea and the sculptor Pygmalion. Pygmalion was a famous sculptor who created a most perfect female nude sculpture, he fell in love with her and prayed to aphrodite goddess of love to make her come alive. Aphrodite, secretely viewed the sculpture and realised that he had created a sculpture that looked like herself, and granted his wish. So Galatea came to life and married Pygmalion.
