Alekos Fassianos, “Adam and Eve in Heaven”, engraving, late 20th century

Alekos Fassianos, signed.

Aquafortis and aquatint print on rag paper framed with a molded guilloched black wood frame, in a dutch style.
The print represents Adam and Eve with a peace dove. On the background, a tiny hamlet seems to be a symbol of the modern city, contrasting with the profuse nature around.
The nudity of the characters and the presence of vegetation convey an idyllic world, an Eden garden far from the modern life.
Vivid pastel colors on a smooth and linear outline draws the typical profiles of the artist’s characters.

Print signed on the front in the bottom right corner (under the frame) “Alekos Fassianos” and titled in the middle. Limited print, numbered 4/50 (in the bottom left corner).

Work from the late XXth century.
