About description: 

This delicate mixed-media artwork by Carlota Santos combines pencil drawing and embroidery on paper, evoking a sense of romantic nostalgia and storytelling. The composition is centered around a circular motif filled with intricate floral and botanical details, rendered in soft pastel hues of pink, peach, and green. The outer ring of the circle resembles an ornate clock or decorative medallion, reinforcing themes of time, memory, and ornamentation.

Surrounding this focal point, hand-drawn cherubs with bows and arrows hover in the composition, adding a mythological or allegorical touch reminiscent of Rococo aesthetics. The cherubs appear in various poses, enhancing the ethereal and playful quality of the piece. Fine pencil lines trace delicate garlands and butterflies, further emphasizing the artist’s signature poetic visual language. A strip of embroidered fabric with delicate embellishments is affixed to the lower portion of the artwork, introducing a tactile dimension that enhances the work’s vintage, handcrafted quality. The pink matting and gold frame complement the artwork’s softness, reinforcing the artist’s exploration of femininity, fantasy, and historical motifs. Santos’ signature at the bottom ties together this intimate and lyrical composition, blending drawing, embroidery, and storytelling into a single, enchanting piece.
