Pink apple
5 January 2010
The Spanish painter Benjamin Palencia took his inspiration from the forbidden fruit when he painted " Mujer con une manzana " (Woman with an Apple).
In this painting, you can see a pensive woman, holding a red apple in her hand. The bright colour of the apple dominates the whole painting, leaving you to wonder about its meaning... Love? Temptation? Seduction?
