Eros (Cupid) Prepares His Bow

A beautiful modern painting of Eros (Cupid) Preparing his golden bow, by Sydney spiritual artist, Leni Kae. Inspired by the artist’s Greek ancestral heritage. Currently on rolled canvas, requires stretching / framing.

“Eros (Cupid) is an expression of the desire for wholeness and represents the act of uniting with someone who is capable of awakening something previously dormant within. We become attracted to elements we feel are missing within us; things we subconsciously desire in order to feel fulfilled as an individual. People we are attracted to often give permission (or result in) these parts of us awakening and being freed. Eros is this act of attraction for all that we seek to ultimately free the heart and soul.”

This artwork is from Leni Kae’s new series ‘Awakenings’ and contains a special feature. Expose the painting to UV Light to discover a hidden glowing symbol.. This feature both symbolises and highlights an element of conscious enlightenment.

Leni Kae’s ‘Awakenings’ series is inspired by an intuitive connection to the artist’s Greek ancestral landscape. Leni explores conscious and subconscious connection to the stories and energies of cultural legends, mythology, ritual and religion; and the role they played in spiritual enlightenment. ‘Awakenings’ invites viewers to re-examine how they think about ancestral historical spirituality, and in the process, surrender to a process of self-discovery.
