Adam and Eve, 2025
Oil and pastel on canvas
36x48"
Adam and Eve is a dreamscape of a woman and a man standing amidst abstract geometric forms drawn from aquatic and natural imagery. The woman faces away from the viewer, wearing a two-piece swim set. She turns toward the man, who wraps his arm around her, resting calmly against the top of her head. The man’s face conveys serenity, while the woman’s expression remains ambiguous.
Layered textures and a warm-cool color palette shape the couple’s ethereal reality. Although the man’s translucent body appears to dissolve into surrounding shapes, the woman initially feels more grounded in the tangible world. As she falls into his arms, her body too becomes translucent, as if he is inviting her into his tranquil, dreamlike state.
