The Apple is a paiting with a very deep meaning.
It represents the temptation to which man and woman are subject, as told in the story of Adam and Eve in the Genesis.
The female figure, with its sinuous and harmonious body forms, caresses the head of the man expressing a double meaning: on one side you can see the hand that wraps the male head bringing it to herself and on the other side you can see the woman extends her hand offering the apple, the fruit of sin.
The artwork strikes attention for its richness in details.
With its bright colors shaded by warm and cold tones and a thousand contrasts but always elegant and sinuous, the artist represents the garden of Eden, where behind the tree of Paradise’s fruit you can see a little devil who remembers the temptation, always lurking around the corner.
Hani Badawi through the artwork The Apple expresses in its simplicity a picture rich of meanings and contrasts united by a creativity of colors and a unique intensity that illuminate the viewer’s eyes.
