Temptation

"The Temptation" brings the biblical story of Eve into a contemporary context, where the concept of original sin, traditionally attributed to women, is reexamined as a universal aspect of human nature. Staying true to the style of Geometric Deconstructivism, lines and circular forms to create a harmonious yet tension-filled composition, where every element holds symbolic significance.

The painting depicts a scene where a serpent, resting on a golden line, directs the viewer’s gaze toward the nude figure of a woman with long hair. The hair’s three shades represent the contrast between light and darkness, reflecting the inner conflict carried by every individual. This woman, reminiscent of the biblical Eve, faces the serpent, which embodies temptation but also serves as a reminder that we all carry our own "serpents" and that every choice can have significant consequences.

The composition, guided by the golden lines, connects all elements within the painting and symbolizes an inevitable path. The message about the timelessness of temptation extends beyond women alone; "The Temptation" is a portrayal of the inner struggles that are an integral part of every human life, inviting the viewer to reflect on their own "serpents," carried silently within.
