“Forbidden fruits” is an expression that refers to something that is forbidden or unattainable, but that makes it extra attractive. The origin of this expression lies in the Bible, specifically in the story of Adam and Eve, in which they were forbidden by God to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The forbidden fruit therefore becomes a symbol of temptation and sin.
Each stroke, color choice and technique reflects the artist's individual expression, setting the painting apart.
All original works are conventionally hand-painted: nothing is digital or printed.
The paintings are constructed in many layers of acrylic paint. This layering in combination with the use of flat brushes creates beautiful and characteristic touches, allowing the painting to be viewed and interpreted in different ways. It contributes to the visual richness and complexity of the work.
No black is used in the paintings. Without black everything is less harsh and looks calmer. The acrylic paint dries matt and is therefore easier on the eye, allowing all details to be fully appreciated.
The colors are specially mixed for each painting and although this is often time-consuming, it is all about the end result.
