This canvas is an obvious reference to the biblical story about the forbidden fruit. This story can be viewed from many points of view, for example, as a symbolic description of the Neolithic revolution. But nevertheless, for me the key is the role of the woman in this episode, her active role in what is usually called progress. She is here the source of movement that pushes symbolic humanity out of a situation of absolute immobility, looped time, thereby fulfilling the divine plan or simply following human nature.
The work from the "Youth of the World" series. It'the series of paintings about the archaism of the humanity, about the fact that modernity and progress are a thin film from under which chthonic things are hidden, which are not subject to change, and the superstructure in the form of civilization above them is rather fragile. which is especially acute at the present moment of crisis. The main task of this works can be formulated as the creation of objects that are visually out of time, as exhibits of human history after the end of history. This dictates their performance, the stylistics referring to archaic art, to a fresco can be at the same time to modernist art.
