Cupid's Arrow

Cupid’s Arrow draws viewers into a moment charged with unspoken emotion at a masked ball. The central figure, a young woman dressed in black, wearing a delicate filigree mask, commands attention. The mask both conceals and reveals, its intricate design framing her eyes, which are fixed upon an unseen figure across the room.

The title and her posture suggest the instant she is struck by love at first sight. Her gaze, brimming with intensity, captures the raw vulnerability of that fleeting, transformative moment when anonymity gives way to connection. The painting explores the interplay of attraction, destiny, and the electric stillness of recognition in a crowded masquerade.
