Description

In this brilliant work, Willis revisits the ancient myth of Cupid , the god of love, by propelling it into a resolutely contemporary aesthetic. The winged child, bow drawn, prepares to shoot an arrow of love—a universal symbol of desire, passion, and human vulnerability.

Against a vibrant yellow background , splashed with dynamic white projections, Cupid's silhouette stands out powerfully. The detailed and organic green wings contrast with the graphic black and white treatment of the body, offering a play of textures and materials. The suspended, almost choreographic posture freezes the movement in mid-flight, reinforcing the dramatic intensity of the gesture.

The combined use of stencils , acrylic paint and spray paint reflects the artist's signature style: a confident urban style, a cross between classical and street art. The black "W" in the lower right corner affirms the work's identity.

With The Flight of Love , Willis offers a bold reinterpretation of the mythological figure, mixing love, tension and urban energy in a picture that is as pop as it is poetic.
