In the beginning, there was a fruit. And the eating of it changed everything.
This self portrait was painted at a moment when the question of truth has never been more urgent — or more impossible. Fake news, AI-generated reality, propaganda dressed as fact. We are all biting into something now and none of us can be certain what it is.
The artist paints himself mid-bite. Eyes cut from the frame. No detachment, no commentary from a safe distance — he is inside it, like all of us. The orange — the forbidden fruit — is the only warmth in the painting. Knowledge always is.
Painted in oil on canvas using classical realist technique. Canvas support offers a lifespan of 50–100+ years with proper care and storage away from direct light and moisture.
Original 30 × 40 cm, one only. Unframed.
