Original artwork description:

“Wasp (Adam and Eve)” by Alexander Levich is a contemporary allegory cloaked in seaside stillness. On a calm sunlit boardwalk, a young couple shares a moment that appears both tender and charged. The woman, serene yet purposeful, offers a green apple to her companion. His body curves inward, suggesting hesitation or introspection. Though relaxed in posture, the emotional weight is unmistakable.

The painting’s brilliance lies in its duality – visually tranquil yet symbolically loaded. Levich replaces the Garden of Eden with a vivid shoreline, yet the themes remain: temptation, knowledge, and irreversible change. The “wasp” exists only in title, serving as a stand-in for the invisible forces that shape our actions.

Thought-provoking and beautifully executed, this large canvas invites viewers to slow down and consider the quiet moments where decisions shape destinies.
