About The Artwork
"Adam and Eve, some time after Eden", crafts a cheeky and irreverent portrayal of the iconic biblical couple, long after their expulsion from the Garden of Eden. This painting explores the complexities of a relationship that has evolved over time, with Eve attempting to rekindle their passion while Adam seems disinterested and absorbed in his reading actually hiding behind his newspaper. At the forefront of the composition is Eve, now a mature woman of around 45 to 50 years old. She is depicted from the back, showcasing her curvaceous figure, with an apron and a seductive garter adorning her right leg. She balances a tray with a drink and a swizzle stick with a heart-shaped top, revealing her playful attempt to spice up their relationship. Her choice of attire harks back to a French maid costume, hinting at her desire to recapture the allure of their earlier days. In stark contrast, Adam sits on a chair, nude and uninterested in Eve's advances. He hides behind an open newspaper titled "The Eden Special," with headlines detailing the story of the apple tree, the fallen angel, and the birth and crucifixion of Christ. Only his blue eyes are visible above the newspaper, and the rest of his face remains concealed. Three paintings adorn the walls: on the left, two mysterious figures with obscured faces are depicted, one wearing a pink handkerchief with a painted moustache, alluding to religious symbolism related to the Father and the Holy Ghost. In the middle painting, Adam and Eve are being expelled from Eden by a red angel wielding a small pitchfork, symbolising their fall from grace. On the right, a chubby red angel is depicted in flight evoking both mischief and carefree abandon. The painting humorously explores the evolution of human relationships and the complexities that arise over time. The painting encourages us to embrace the human aspects of these iconic figures and consider the profound impact of time and change on our own lives and relationships.

My artistic practice is one of constant evolution and experimentation, shifting between ideas and techniques as I seek to keep the process fresh and challenging. Beginning with figurative art during my early days at the academy, I embarked on a transformative trajectory that includes periods of abstraction and a return to figurative painting. These shifts occur deliberately and gradually, rekindling the artistic challenge and infusing fresh vitality into my creations. Personal life experiences, including profound moments like the loss of a loved one or a transition from a vibrant urban environment to a tranquil countryside, have been instrumental in shaping these transformative shifts. Presently, my artistic exploration centers on scrutinizing the intricate connections between religion, particularly Christianity, gender dynamics, and their collective ramifications on society. I hope to raise thought-provoking questions about the enduring influence of strong religious doctrines, which, despite waning in contemporary society, continue to shape both our legal systems and perceptual frameworks. My artistic style oscillates between the realms of abstraction and figuration, with alternating phases where one style takes precedence over the other. Working primarily with acrylics and oil paints on linen, I embark on each piece with a blank canvas and minimal premeditation. This approach empowers me to paint with a sense of unrestrained freedom, sidestepping the potential constraints of meticulous preliminary studies. Such studies, while useful for some, could potentially stifle my genuine joy of painting and the innate vitality that emerges within the artwork itself.
