Sunset Embrace
12" x 10" (Oil on Linen)
[Available]
Inspired by Antonia Canova’s sculpture of Psyche Revived by Cupid’s Kiss (1787), the colourful intensity of the ethereal background magnifies the delicate sensuality of the painter’s interpretation of the human form.
The painting invites viewers to contemplate on “interconnectedness” on two fronts: firstly, the relationship between Psyche and Cupid, with the lifeless Psyche having just been revived by Cupid’s kiss. Secondly, the background of the sunset, sky and sea merging in perfect harmony mirroring the interconnectedness of the two main subjects, Psyche and Cupid, as they embrace.
