"Kiss of Life" Painting

The story behind this piece was to creating a painting that kisses life back into the world around us. I wanted to make something that represented that to love life is to love it for the turmoil and ecstasy. When on my journey to create this piece I came across the story of Cupid and Psyche and the trials and tribulations they had to overcome to be united in their love. When Psyche dies on one of the tasks she had to complete to marry Cupid, she died and Cupid came to the underworld and kissed life back into her. When researching this I found Antonio Canova's "Psyche Revived by Cupids Kiss", a sculpture he made of their passionate kiss and felt inspired to translate it into a painting in my own style. The oil paint keeps the soft feeling of the original marble sculpture but adds new life and texture with vibrant colors paired with a saturated acrylic background.
