The Evolution of 'RESTRAINT'

A central piece from Arjan Spannenburg’s CUPIDO series, featuring a winged adolescent boy as a modern Eros standing in a dark, naturalistic forest. The photography emphasizes a dialogue with classical painting through warm skin tones, white feathered wings, and a moody, deep-green background, moving away from the traditional cherub to explore a more mature and human portrayal of the God of Love.
