Golden Eros

“Golden Eros” – A Handpainted Decorative Plate by Anna Tsetsos
One-of-a-Kind | Collector’s Ceramic | A Mythic Celebration of Love, Light & Play

Introducing Golden Eros, a luminous handpainted ceramic plate by Greek artist Anna Tsetsos, created as a tribute to classical beauty, divine joy, and the timeless dance of love. This piece draws directly from ancient myth, where gods played in gardens and the human heart was guided by golden arrows.

At its center, the figure of Eros—the Greek god of love—is rendered in radiant gold, his playful form nestled among a flourish of blooming roses and swirling vines. The stylized foliage wraps gently around the figure in an elegant, symmetrical embrace, forming a natural frame that evokes antique frescoes and Hellenistic motifs.

The deep navy-blue background lends drama and mystery, while the golden palette evokes ancient icons and sun-kissed sculpture. The surface is softly brushed, allowing light to move across it like a memory resurfacing.

Anna describes Golden Eros as “a love letter to classical beauty, and a reminder that joy itself is sacred.” The figure is not static—he leaps. He celebrates. He holds within him both innocence and power, delicately balanced within a garden of eternal bloom.
