Human Essence

18 inches x 24 inches
Acrylic on Canvas

This is a painting that belongs to the "Original Sin" series. An abstract representation of human essence, visually described by the fruit-like structure which transforms into a human figure. Adam and Eve got thrown out from Eden because they are from the tree of knowledge. I think we ourselves are the fruit. I decided to limit my palette to pink, white and black, representing both spectrums of good and evil.

The snake represents the temptations that we face since the very beginning of reason. This painting would later lead to the Original Sin and the Forbidden Fruit Series.
