Adam, the first man, can be considered the symbol of masculinity, full of energy received from the heavens, depicted in a monochromatic red. Eve, the first woman, the feminine force that gives life, is portrayed in a monochromatic blue sky. Two primary colors, red and blue, to which yellow must be added. And yellow, that's their encounter, the couple, in which Adam and Eve come together, giving birth to humanity. And where is this humanity? It is reflected in all its diversity when you walk past the large mirrors representing the earth, at the bottom of the canvases.

It's the story of the family. When a man meets a woman, sometimes they fall in love and have children. I didn't have enough space to draw all the children of the earth, so I placed large mirrors at the bottom of the paintings. That way, without doing anything, I show many different parents and children when they look at themselves in it.
