This is the one of my favourite pieces. An inspiration arrived from the "Secret doctrine" of Elena Blavatskaya. The painting captures the moment when, through divine light, Eve - who was once a part of Adam and represented the feminine aspect of his essence - separates from him, giving birth to two distinct beings. Eve first separates as a spirit and then attains physical form, which is why I depicted her as semi-transparent.
