Artworks files I: EDEN

About Eden

 
Eden stands for Good and Evil. I intended to allude to an apparently peaceful being that at the same time evokes evilness. It could be a captive soul, or a dominated being, I mean our own duality, the weakness that sometimes prostrates Good before Evil.
The tattoo in the arm tells us about some kind of lord, a leader whose power controls the angel.
The colors of the sky are warm and grey in order to create a dense and oppressive atmosphere, but also comfortable. The trees show desolation, the loss of life..., it's not a landscape, but a spot. I'd like to suggest lethargy, drowsiness, peace...
The bed made with flowers, the romantic and misterious moon and the warm ambient are elements that let us understand some of the reasons which make the angel loose itself in this other paradise, reasons that would be passion, latent in the red of its clothes and in the hot tone of its skin. And the charm of the place, which is a place deprived of life, but full of feelings...
