This painting is a comic development of the famous scheme of the human evolution that traditionally depicts a male individual. The famous biblical fact about the origin of the first woman from a man’s rib is also played up here. This picture illustrates the idea that a woman is a more mentally and spiritually highly organized being than a man. There is also a verbal game with the word ‘evolution’ and the name of Eve in the title. Eve, who has accepted the forbidden fruit from the Serpent-Tempter, is not a victim of temptation, but the mediator of a progress. An apple is a symbol of experience and knowledge. Eve is an engine of a progress, positive knowledge, experience. She is a bold revolutionary element that has broke up a tabu. Eve fulfilled the will of the Creator who wished to detach people deprived of free will from their saving umbilical cord and send them to the free swimming of "knowledge." So that someday they will return to him already with free will and by personal choice. It is not surprising that the name of the first biblical woman is consonant with the word "evolution" that derived from the Latin word ‘evolutio’ - "unfolding".

MILA ARBUZOVA Mila Arbuzova was born in Saint-Petersburg, Russia in 1973. Having graduated from Saint-Petersburg's University of Humanities and Social Sciences, she worked as a journalist at the different art and cultural magazines. At the same time she began her own artist's experiments. Mila Arbuzova spent her childhood in the downtown of Saint Petersburg. Her family lived in a block of flats in Grazhdanskaya Street where, according to Dostoevsky's famous novel "Crime and Punishment", the old female moneylender killed by Rodion Raskolnikov used to live. In Soviet times guides often showed foreigners the place where the legendary murder occurred. Maybe this location of the native house made an influence on the future artist. The art work of Mila Arbuzova is essentially "Saint-Petersburg's": lyrical, strict, sometimes - tragicomocal, philosophical, serious and absurdist in the same moment. It includes a wide range of subjects: the sarcastic sketches in the spirit of "social art" as well as the magical  fantastic pictures together with free compositions combining parts of realistic images in a surrealistic manner. Contemporary Russian Art despite its visual diversity tends to simplify so that its painting mainstream is becoming more and more schematic and conditional due to both accelerated tempo of modern life along with its formalization and current art market conjuncture. In contrast to this tendency works of other Russian artists tend to re-establish classical painting culture as independent elitist art form which can be appreciated only by the narrow circle of fans and art hedonists of special kind. Mila Arbuzova's paintings combine the realistic painting's techniques (including attention to details, subtle color nuances, harmonious composition solutions) with actual social issues, absurd sense of humor and lyricism. All these features traditionally characterize art of St. Petersburg. In her paintings the principles of both figurative and abstract art are incarnated. Abstraction, however, does not play a merely decorative role: you can be sure that it is integrated into the plot. All Arbuzova's work deal with a few major themes: politics, beach, portrait, sport and dance. Also Mila Arbuzova is an author and inspirer of the international women's art project "BIOWOMAN".
