Limited Edition Stone Lithograph
A surreal reimagining of one of humanity’s oldest stories, Michael Parkes’ Educating Eve is a mesmerizing blend of symbolism, mythology, and humor. This exquisite stone lithograph invites the viewer into a world where innocence, wisdom, and destiny converge in an unexpected and dreamlike composition.
Eve, depicted in serene repose, lies upon a grand stone pedestal, her expression contemplative as she holds the fateful apple—an eternal symbol of knowledge, choice, and transformation. Around her, a cast of whimsical yet enigmatic figures gathers: tiny, armor-clad instructors, seemingly guiding her initiation into the mysteries of life; a majestic white tiger, the guardian of wisdom, resting at her side; and an ethereal winged being hovering above, offering insight from a higher plane. The composition is rendered in Parkes’ signature soft sepia tones, lending a timeless and classical elegance to the surreal narrative.
With its exquisite detail, profound symbolism, and Parkes’ signature touch of magic, Educating Eve is more than a reinterpretation of a biblical tale—it is a reflection on the pursuit of wisdom, the weight of choice, and the beauty of the unknown. A must-have for collectors who appreciate thought-provoking and beautifully crafted works, this lithograph is a captivating centerpiece that invites endless contemplation.
