Adam and Eve 1965

Created in 1965 by Cuban artist Carlos Alonso, "Adam and Eve" depicts a stark and surreal interpretation of the biblical story. The figures are rendered with anatomical detail, their skin peeled back to reveal the internal organs, creating a jarring juxtaposition of the spiritual and the corporeal. Alonso's use of collage and a muted palette contribute to the work's unsettling mood, prompting viewers to contemplate the complexities of human existence and the nature of sin.
