This painting, An Allegory of Venus and Cupid (Improvisation) (2021), transforms a Renaissance vision of intimacy into a fragmented, dreamlike tableau. The intertwined figures of Venus and Cupid emerge from a storm of color, their bodies rendered in soft flesh tones yet fractured by vibrant strokes of blue, red, and gold. The embrace feels both tender and uneasy, suspended between sensuality and distortion.
The background pulses with fiery reds and earthy tones, suggesting both passion and chaos. Ghostlike faces and architectural fragments surface within the abstraction, their watchful presence adding layers of myth, judgment, and history. Swirling ribbons of color weave through the figures, blurring the boundary between body and environment.
By breaking apart classical form, the painting interrogates ideals of beauty and desire. Venus and Cupid no longer belong to a frozen myth but exist within a shifting, unstable world—one where intimacy is refracted through memory, cultural inheritance, and modern dissonance.
