The Three Fates

The Three Fates, Oil on canvas (61 x76 cm), 2007

In Roman mythology, the Parcae were the personifications of destiny (often called The Fates in English). Their Greek equivalent were the Moirae. They controlled the metaphorical thread of life of every mortal and immortal from birth to death. Even the gods feared the Parcae. Jupiter also was subject to their power.
The names of the three Parcae were:
Nona - spun the thread of life from her distaff onto her spindle. Her Greek equivalent was Clotho;
Decima - measured the thread of life with her rod. Her Greek equivalent was Lachesis;
Morta - was the cutter of the thread of life. She chose the manner of a person's death. When she cut the thread with "her abhorrèd shears", someone on Earth died. Her Greek equivalent was Atropos.

Porto-Impressão, Óleo sobre tela (76x51cm),2007

Muitos blogamigos têm gentilmente inquirido acerca de uma possivel exposição da minha pintura. Tenho o prazer de anunciar que finalmente vou expor em Portugal. A exposição decorrerá em Coimbra no Centro Cultural D. Dinis, de 4 a 24 de Maio. Eu vou lá estar no fim de semana da abertura e seria um prazer encontrar os blogamigos com os quais tenho convivido virtualmente.
(NOTA: Se algum dos blogamigos desejar de estar presente na abertura, que acontecerá no Sexta-feira dia 4 ao fim da tarde, tem apenas de me enviar um email com o nome e morada e enviarei o convite)
