Leaving Garden of Eden This painting is about a change of perceiving the “Expulsion from the Garden of Eden” not as a punishment inflicted upon Adam and Eve, but as an act of positive choice of farewell. A chance to see the traumatic change as starting a new enlightened free and responsible life. This painting is part of series of paintings that I am working on, which explores biblical events by trying to analyze the story from the "Age of Enlightenment” point of view.
