contents A novel invariant decomposition of diagonalizable $n \times n$ matrices into $n$ commuting matrices is presented. This decomposition is subsequently used to split the fundamental representation of $\mathfrak{su}(3)$ Lie algebra elements into at most three commuting elements of $\mathfrak{u}(3)$. As a result, the exponential of an $\mathfrak{su}(3)$ Lie algebra element can be split into three commuting generalized Euler's formulas, or conversely, a Lie group element can be factorized into at most three generalized Euler's formulas. After the factorization has been performed, the logarithm follows immediately.
