Original artwork description:

Eros is a bold contemporary figurative artwork exploring desire, vulnerability, and emotional intensity through the language of the human body. The composition unfolds across two panels, where expressive female figures emerge against a muted blue-gray background. Dynamic red painterly gestures cut through the surface like raw symbols of passion, instinct, and emotional exposure.

The contrast between monochrome figurative forms and vivid red marks creates a powerful visual tension, balancing restraint with urgency. The dripping lines and abstract symbols evoke themes of love, power, and human connection—both fragile and unapologetically physical. The fragmented presentation reinforces the idea of duality: strength and softness, control and surrender.

Painted in oil with acrylic accents on canvas, Eros carries a strong contemporary edge while remaining deeply emotional and intimate. This piece makes a striking statement in modern interiors and resonates with collectors drawn to expressive figurative art, symbolism, and emotionally charged compositions.
