The artwork titled “Eva,” created by the artist Corneille in 1998, is a Neo-Expressionist mythological painting. The composition portrays a female figure, ostensibly representing Eve, as she interacts with a serpent in an abstract, lush landscape. Utilizing vivid colors and bold outlines, Corneille emphasizes the mythological narrative with modernistic and expressive artistic nuances.
In the artwork, a prominently featured nude female figure stands against a backdrop of rolling green hills, possibly alluding to the Garden of Eden. Her skin is painted in shades of pink, and she holds a green apple to her face—a symbolic reference to the biblical story. A yellow and black-spotted serpent wraps around her body, its tongue playfully extending near her face. In the background, elements such as a sailboat and blue clouds add a whimsical touch to the scene. The overall aesthetic merges traditional mythological themes with contemporary expressionist techniques, evoking an intriguing blend of historical and modernist interpretations.
