$720.00

Medium: Colored pens on paper

Dimensions: 74 × 90 cm (29.1 × 35.4 inches)

Description

Love in Cold Colors explores the contradictions of love through a contemporary reinterpretation of classic romantic imagery. Created with colored pens and built up through multiple layers of delicate lines and intricate textures, the work combines the timeless symbolism of Cupid with an unexpected, almost iconic visual language.

The contrast between Cupid’s warm, human presence and the cold blue face introduces a tension between passion and emotional detachment. Delicate marks and expressive details create visual depth, while the unconventional use of color challenges traditional representations of romance.

Beneath its playful, striking appearance lies a reflection on the complexities of intimacy — how love can awaken intense emotions even when connection feels distant, fragile, or cold. The familiar figure of Cupid becomes a symbol of the unpredictable nature of desire and the contradictions that shape our relationships.

A contemporary, expressive artwork that brings color, emotional depth, and a touch of irony to the timeless subject of love.
