I have always been fascinated by sculpture and the ability to carve the stone or throw the clay with such precision, bringing it to life.
This series of my “sculptural” work started with “Three Graces” - Roman bas-relief I saw at the Louvre in November. I immediately knew I wanted to paint it and explore intricacies of human body captured so well by the ancients.
This “Adam and Eve” is after Rodin. Rodin created many sculptures of both, I saw these at the Art Institute in Chicago, and put it into a composition that tells the story of male and female, of the tension and connection that always present in our relationships.
