Born in 1972 in the Netherlands Paul Cupido delicately pursues this tracking the fleeting and eternal beauty of nature capturing the reflections of the moon on petals or skin. 'Recently Château Palmer gave me the opportunity to visit the estate meet the winemakers and appreciate its location along the fertile banks of the Garonne. To experience both literally and figuratively the philosophy and heritage of the château: the circular production of these magnificent wines. I was deeply impressed by the site the animals the soil the culture and the dedication. I wish to offer a poetic interpretation of these elements like a composer translating feelings into notes or a winemaker interpreting what nature gives us. While there I intend to keep my senses alert. I am convinced that the work must emerge organically by listening to the "spirit of the place" by learning what this land wants from me.' Cupido. Séléné is the Greek goddess of the moon in Greek mythology. She is often associated with beauty purity and cosmic order. She is frequently depicted in ancient paintings as a young woman holding a torch or a crescent moon." -Publisher's text.
