The Temptation of Eve was created from a single piece of smoky quartz of 30 kg; a crystal of this size is in itself unusual. It takes up the biblical story of human beginnings: the first people in the Garden of Eden, and the first woman, Eve, seduced by a serpent into tasting the forbidden fruit.
The classical form of the sculpture stands for outward and inward harmony, the longing for perfection and the flow of life, sought by denying, repeating and transforming the biblical stories and the wisdom and experience gathered over the ages.
The ancient Greeks believed smoky quartz to be an adult rock crystal.
Materials: smoky quartz
Weight: 30 kg (single block)
