"Venus Clipping Cupid's Wings, Part 2"
Sergey Volohov
SV3
About the painting:
The painting depicts Venus (the Roman goddess of love and beauty) performing an act reminiscent of a mythological motif: she clips the wings of Cupid, the god of love. This scene symbolically represents the restriction or control of passion, love, and instincts. The second part of the composition may suggest a development or refinement of meanings, possibly introducing new characters or a shift in emotional tone.

This is a contemporary artwork created by Russian artist Sergei Volokhov. Volokhov is known for his works in the neo-academic style, where he engages with classical subjects and imagery, reinterpreting them in a modern context.
Volokhov is distinguished by his attention to detail, refined plasticity of figures, and subtle interplay of light and shadow. The painting is executed in a style that combines academic technique with elements of irony and a contemporary perspective on mythological themes. The work’s theme explores the conflict between emotion and reason, seeking a balance between the sensual and rational principles.
