Orpheus was a singer and musician. Eurydice and Orpheus fell in love. On their wedding day, a poisonous snake killed Eurydice. Orpheus went to the world of the dead to ask Hades, the god of the underworld, to bring her back. He pleaded with his music and his songs, and Hades granted his request on the condition that he not look back until they had left the underworld. Eurydice still had one foot inside when Orpheus looked back, and Eurydice vanished forever.

Inspiration and Themes
Angeles Nieto sees creating art as a game, a dialogue between what has been painted and what remains to be painted, always in search of balance. She says: “We are stardust (matter) from the stars. Our bodies are made of the same matter, and so are our spiritual lives. Together, we are part of the universe; we, too, are stars. The stars (celestial bodies), the world of dreams, or the ability to fly as an expression of freedom often recur in my images.”
