Cupid Rising, - Karl Hammer
Cupid flying over water is a theme painted by many artists including the painter William Adolphe Bouguerau (1825 - 1905) who's work served as an inspiration for this photo. In this artwork photographer Karl Hammer chose to have the young god rise from the water before spreading his wings. At the same time a swan, symbol of love and faith, rises up behind him and is approached by a partner from the horizon.

Marcel Salome about Karl Hammer
"As curator of Dreamscapes I'm always searching for new art and I happened upon the art photography of Karl Hammer. His artworks intrigue because of the atmosphere that he realizes in his work but also through their narrative qualities. The often beautiful male and female models distract you from hidden messages in the work that the viewer often doesn't capture on first viewing."
