CONCUPISCENCE

Oil on canvas 100 x 100 cm

Deadly Desire

Lust is the obsessive craving for a carnal desire. An important and very profound theme, which is

described in an elegant and subtle way in this work .

The leaf covers the woman's eyes, as a symbol of ignorance, because blind to desire, she does not realize the danger that lies behind deceptive beauty.

The particular technical detail on the hair and in the leaf is worthy of praise.

This work reveals the artist's spirituality in his choice of a biblical theme, which he expressed in the iconic figure of Eve facing original sin.

The model is dressed in a modern dress, a symbol of the eternal condemnation we carry with us, today just as yesterday.

Although the modern style predominates, the elegance of the subject and the subdued colors lend it a more classical aura. It's a painting that truly seems to travel through time, between classical and contemporary.
