The artwork “Eros” is a magical and colorful interpretation of the winged god of Greek mythology, Eros (Cupid for the Romans). Eros is responsible for sexual attraction and is revered as the god of fertility. However, in philosophy, Eros also represents the love of wisdom and power over lust. Charruart’s artwork captures the essence of Eros as a force that inspires both desire and the pursuit of knowledge and understanding. The mixed media technique of acrylic and oil pastel creates a texture and sheen that invite the viewer to reflect on the complexity of love and attraction.
