Love on a Break: When Cupid Drifts

Description

In this whimsical and reflective piece, the artist reimagines Cupid as a young, beautiful woman on a skateboard, gliding effortlessly down the street, earbuds in and her bow resting unused on her back. Here, Cupid isn’t in the business of love—she’s off the clock, savoring a moment all her own.

This playful scene becomes a metaphor for those periods in our lives when romantic love is absent, allowing us to experience a phase of peace, independence, and self-focus. Cupid, usually busy pairing souls, represents love itself taking time to breathe and be free, a reminder that love can exist as a beautiful presence, even when it isn’t actively transforming our lives.

Through this painting, the artist invites us to embrace these interludes with kindness, understanding that love doesn’t always need to “strike.” Sometimes, love simply exists, drifting by, waiting for the next moment to be called back into action.
