This intriguing painting is a visual exploration of human duality and the eternal struggle between life and death, inspired by the myth of Adam and Eve. In the center of the canvas, a lone rock emerges from the tumultuous sea, symbolizing steadfastness and resistance to life's adversities. Above it, an old wooden armchair holds a clock that is about to strike 12, evoking the inexorable passage of time and the inevitability of its influence on our lives. On the left, a nude woman in shades of gray adopts a classic pose as he looks up, representing lost innocence and purity. To his right, a skeleton holds in his hand a bitten apple, whose exposed flesh reveals the presence of a worm, symbolizing corruption and original sin. This masterful composition invites the viewer to reflect on the universal themes of temptation, freedom agency and mortality, while exploring the complex relationship between man, nature and time.
