CUPID
Oil on canvas | 50×65 | 2024
Original oil painting by Santi Pina
Cupid subverts the classical myth. In this painting, the figure of Cupid is not joyful or mischievous, but solemn: his posture slumped, his expression hollow. Set against a deep black background, the composition isolates him in a void, amplifying the sense of desolation.
Painted just before the artist’s own breakup, the work feels eerily prophetic. There is no sentimentality here, only stillness and sorrow. The painting captures the emotional fatigue of love, the aftermath that lingers even before the end arrives.
By depicting a mythic figure through a deeply human lens, Cupid becomes a portrait of disillusionment: what happens when even love’s messenger loses faith in what he brings.
This is not the fall of love, it is its quiet fading.
