“Cupid and Psyche", rappresenta il mito di Amore e Psiche. Qui l'anima, la psiche, volando incontra Amore e lui subito al suo passaggio si tinge di rosso. L’anima dissetandosi dell’amore di Cupido a sua volta si tinge di rosso. E’ il momento dell’innamoramento, a cui segue l’unione con un amore più spirituale, diventando giallo. Questo lavoro appartiene alla serie intitolata "Way back into Soul", in cui sono rappresentati antichi miti in chiave moderna.

“Cupid and Psyche", represents the myth of Cupid and Psyche. Here the soul, the psyche, meets Cupid while flying and he immediately dyes red as she passes by. The soul, quenching its thirst with Cupid's love, in turn dyes of red. It is the moment of falling in love, which is followed by the union with a more spiritual love, becoming yellow. This work belongs to the series entitled "Way back into Soul", in which ancient myths are represented in a modern way.
