Pregmalion is a re-creation of the work Pygmalion. A very famous and ancient Greek Myth, tells the story of a sculptor who falls in love with his sculpture. The sculpture then comes to life and turns to embrace him. The story was made into a play, an actual sculpture and also several paintings.
Tired of traditional pregnancy photos, my fiance and I decided to recreate this famous work and title it Pregmalion. (it was actually Teresa’s idea, I must give her credit) We contacted the amazing real-life, bronze sculptor Andrew DeVries. He was very welcoming, and allowed us to photograph in his studio. (He is truly an amazing artist. If you are interested in seeing more of his work click here.) We felt the metaphor was ripe for interpretation as both of us are artists, creating our new family. If you have any ideas you’d like to have photographed, give us a call. We’re always more than to happy to work on new projects and ideas.
