Additional Information

Adam and Eve in Pomegranate Garden is one of the paintings from Olga Bakhtina‘s series ‘Inner Garden, Secret Garden’ which is a collection of paintings in which every work is a story being told. It’s an attempt to create a dreamy new world of harmony, a civilisation of peace and serenity, where dreams come true, and worries do not exist. The series is about humanity, about what truly matters: love, romance, keeping childhood dreams, believing in miracles, the love of adventure, and finding harmony. It is an optimist’s visual feast in which I honour the human spirit, strength, and courage. Artistically, the series is about finding harmony through the balance of colours and geometrical shapes. It is also about finding a stylised metaphorical language, a kind of a child’s simplified way of telling a story. Through the classical approach with a contemporary twist, the series was an ambitious attempt to give the images the air of a parable, as well as the grace and grandeur of Renaissance frescoes. The paintings are open for interpretation, but at the same time rich in symbolism as hints. ‘In Adam and Eve in Pomegranate Garden’, and other works, zebras with their white and black stripes symbolise life whilst the pomegranate is a symbol of fertility and power. Size: 91cm x 91cm x 4cm.
