About this artwork
In the middle of the forest thicket, between the tree roots, sits a stone figure: Atropos,
a goddess of fate from Greek mythology.
"According to Hesiod, Atropos was a daughter of Zeus and Themis. Elsewhere in his Theogony, however, the goddesses of fate (Moirae) are called children of Nyx ("night"). According to Hesiod, Atropos was small in stature, but she was ranked high above her two sisters." (Wikipedia) As a painter, I was also interested… in the contrast between the human figure and the natural forms of the forest...
According to Plato, the Moirai are daughters of Ananke, fate. They wear white robes and sing in harmony with the Sirens. Atropos sings of those things that will be (of the future).

Matthias Bargholz is an artist based in Germany whose paintings have been exhibited nationally and in Brazil. In addition, his art has been featured in publications such as the Ostsee Zeitung and the Hagenower Kreisblatt.

His distinctive pieces are created with acrylics and oils on canvas.
