Eva

My latest painting "Eva" is finally finished!
For the past year I have wanted to transform the old ideals and archetypes into modern times. Religious or not, we are very much influenced by the symbols from the Holy Scriptures.
So I decided to liberate Eve, to release her from the dogmas of guilt and shame. To erase the common view that a woman must hide, must never tempt the man, that she is forever guilty etc...
When she is liberated then the symbol of Adam will also be a free man.
So I depicted Eve as a creator of life, as a person who enjoys life in every way.
