One Part of Eden

One Part of Eden imagines the Garden of Eden through lush greenery, inventive colour and intertwined lines. Rather than illustrating a familiar story, the painting explores the feelings of harmony, purity and abundance that the idea of a garden can evoke.

“I’ve always wanted to investigate the hypothesis of such a concept,” says Virtosu. “My interest was not only based on the myth/story of Eden but also on the power that the concept of Garden incites, a Garden is a kind of Home, it represents the idea of abundance.”

This exotic garden offers a welcome, but not complete reassurance. Beyond its immediate beauty remains the possibility of danger just outside our line of sight.
