Borrowed Wings

Borrowed Wings is part of an ongoing body of work referencing works by the old masters. Paying homage to the High Renaissance period in art history, this series depicts the life of Voluptas, the daughter of Cupid & Psyche. Known as the Goddess of sensual pleasures, this series depicts Voluptas in her naive innocence. Colours harmonise to create a calm & balanced composition focussed on a central heroine, reimagined in a contemporary view. Soft hues emphasise the fragility of Voluptas & masterful lighting blurs the lines between oil painting & photography.
