Where's Cupid?
This evocative acrylic piece, showcases the artist’s signature technique of multiple layers of underpainting, creating a richly textured surface. The background features a delicate touch of pink, overlaid with an almost blue wash, brush lightly to give soft ethereal quality.
In the foreground a silhouette of a head and shoulders emerges symbolising either the artist or the viewer. The head is intriguingly filled with holes and cupids arrow pierces through, suggesting numerous miss marks, a poignant reminder of unfulfilled attempts or aspirations. The composition is further enriched with shapes and dashes of colour, which play critical role in balancing the overall aesthetic and adding and dynamic visual interest.
This piece created without a predetermined theme or inspiration, invites viewers to derive their own meaning and reflection. The interplay of colours and texture not only enhance its visual appeal but also evokes a sense of contemplation an introspection. “Where's Cupid!” has the power to lift a room by infusing it with both a gentle calmness from its background hues to an engaging narrative from its symbolic elements, making it a captivating addition to any space.
