Cupid’s Kiss - Starry Night (blue, edition), 2022
Cupid’s Kiss - Starry Night (blue, edition), 2022 is a Edition from the "Blueprints of Thought" series by the contemporary artist Joseph Klibansky. It's made from the materials acrylic paint, archival cotton paper, museum glass, screen print ink, wood and aluminum frame. And it's created as a limited edition.
The winged young man who has just landed on a rock where a girl lies unconscious, is the god Cupid – and can be recognized by his wings. The young girl’s name is Psyche. Cupid’s mother Venus, goddess of Beauty, demanded that Psyche bring back a flask from the Underworld containing "Imprisoned Treasure of Divine Beauty", and strictly forbid her to open it. However, the contents of the flask had secretly been replaced with "Sleep of Darkness", in stead of the beauty she had expected.
But Psyche’s curiosity got the better of her. She couldn't resist opening the flask. She breathed in the toxic fumes and fell into a deep sleep. Seeing her lying motionless, Cupid rushed to her and touched her gently with the tip of his arrow, to make sure she was still alive. This is the moment caught in this image.
Cupid lifts his beloved Psyche in a tender embrace, kissing her and slowly bringing her back to life.
Inspired by the original work by Antonio Canova, in this limited edition screen print of the original canvas versions of "Starry Night" and "Into the Light", Klibansky combines the sculpture of Cupid's Kiss with his Thought Painting style to create his own interpretation of this magical love story.

Time line
Regarding the production timeline for your artwork order, we begin by gathering a sufficient number of orders to optimize our artisanal process and ensure the highest quality. This initial phase typically lasts about four weeks, after which production commences without delay.
Our dedicated team then works diligently and as swiftly as possible, employing meticulous craftsmanship to bring your piece to life. The actual production phase will require an additional number of weeks, depending on the complexity and scale of the artwork, to guarantee exceptional results. At this point, it is not possible to provide an exact delivery date or time, as variables in the process may influence the final schedule.
Throughout this journey, we will provide you with periodic updates via email, sharing progress on the creation of your beautiful artwork. We value your patience and look forward to delivering a piece that exceeds your expectations.
Pre-order
When you place a pre-order for our artwork, it means you're reserving your piece as part of a limited production run. We first collect a series of orders to ensure efficient and high-quality manufacturing, allowing us to produce the artwork in batches. Once we reach the optimal number of pre-orders, production will begin promptly.
Our team is committed to crafting each piece with meticulous care and the utmost speed possible, using premium materials and techniques to meet our exacting standards. However, due to the artisanal nature of the process and variables like material sourcing and printing timelines, we are unable to provide a precise delivery date at the time of ordering.
Rest assured, we will keep you informed with periodic updates on production progress via email. You will receive a final notification once your artwork is complete and ready for shipment, along with tracking details for a seamless delivery experience. Thank you for your patience and support in bringing this creation to life.
Made-to-order
When you select a made-to-order artwork, it signifies that production begins exclusively upon receiving your purchase. This approach ensures that each piece is crafted specifically for you, as a sold item, allowing us to dedicate our resources and expertise to fulfilling your order with precision and care.
Unlike mass-produced items, we do not create the artwork in advance or to individual custom specifications; instead, your order directly triggers the process, guaranteeing that it is made only because it has been acquired. Our artisans employ the finest materials and techniques to deliver a high-quality, one-of-a-kind reproduction tailored to our established design.
This method supports sustainable production while maintaining exceptional standards. We appreciate your choice to invest in a truly bespoke experience.
