Stupidus Cupido

"Stupidus Cupido" translates to "Stupid Cupid" in Latin.

The song with the same title was heavily inspired for this painting, linked below.

We've all been struck by cupid in some shape or form. Whether that's good or bad, whether it was straight in the heart or stabbed in the back. Each arrow represents a specific relationship I had in my life with different meanings. We've all experienced someone who stabbed us in the back, made us have our hands tied, pulled our leg so we couldn't move, or struck us right in the heart where it hurts.

"Stupid Cupid, you're a real mean guy

I'd like to clip your wings so you can't fly

I'm in love and it's a crying shame

And I know that you're the one to blame

Hey hey, set me free
Stupid Cupid, stop picking on me "

- Stupid Cupid by Connie Francis
