The work is a representation of divine knowledge in man and is inspired by the book of Genesis.
The craving for knowledge pushes man to reach out to reap the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil from the tree that is located in the center of the garden of Eden.
Man realizes his nakedness and experiences modesty. Man knows. Man is like “one of us” because he knows good and knows evil, and that is why he loses eternal life.
On the canvas, gold symbolizes divinity and spirituality and which manifest themselves both in the tree and in the human being. Cobalt blue, a rare and sought-after pigment, is a symbol of purity and splendor that evokes mystery and represents the need for spirituality and transcendence in the human being.
