The Fall into the Abyss

oil on canvas 190 x 220 cm (76 x 88 in.) 1990

This painting conveys the idea of protest. It has been created in sharp tones and colour contrast, with scattered composition.  Allegorically, it shows the human conception by the prostrate bodies of Adam and Eve and the prone figure of a powerless God.  Keys to the paradise are falling out of His hands. The Satan sits triumphantly below.  A scene of ancient Greek life appears above.
