In the beginning of my spiritual journey I have painted Eve numerous times. She was a fascinating subject - First woman and the First to fall! In my many attempts to read Bible I could not pass the ridge of the long list of Adam’s descendants, meaning - I read the story of creation over and over again. Eve was the only woman there I could relate to in so many ways: her risky attempt to gain knowledge and being newly married. I was also toying with popular relativist ideas of Eve’s greatness. I completely misunderstood the simple meaning of the original sin of disobedience by attributing it to a sort of adolescent revolt for independence from parents/God the Father and her natural desire to start a family. As a result I produced a whole series of interesting paintings related to Eve.
She was our prehistoric mother and I was with my first child too. Conceiving and caring a child in my womb was an amazing new experience. I painted her green to honor the C.S. Lewis’ beautiful character in “Perelandra” novel. Fresh as a spring twig, innocently naked and vulnerably joyful in her love for her husband. Her greenness is turning to flesh as she matures through her new experiences of marriage union and motherhood. Like a ripening of an apple the warm undertones cover her chicks. The mystery of the new life inside of her sparks the light in her eyes. On her slender shoulders she caries the weight of the new world abundant with life and her strong body painted with more earthy hues seems to be filled with the strength of a tree.
