Adam is a painting by Fernando Botero: a full-figured nude Adam with red hair stands against a dark ground holding a green sprig, with apples hanging around him. We paint our hand-painted study of Adam to order on canvas, in oil or acrylic, in 8 sizes from 40 \u00d7 65 cm to 125 \u00d7 205 cm or in a custom size. Before Adam is dispatched, we send you a photo of the finished painting.<\/p>\n
In Adam a round, muscular nude man with short reddish hair and a serious face stands facing us, covering himself with a green olive sprig; a dark tree trunk stands behind him and small green apples hang out of the darkness. Botero painted the biblical Adam as the companion to Eve, which is why Adam feels solemn, calm and a little comic.<\/p>\n
Our painters paint the study of Adam by hand, with brushstrokes of different thickness, separately for every order. We paint in oil or acrylic, depending on the subject and the size, so the surface of Adam has a real paint texture that a print does not have. When Adam is finished, we photograph it and send you the photo for approval.<\/p>\n
For the wall above a sofa or a sideboard choose Adam in 70 \u00d7 110 cm, and for a bedroom, hallway or work corner 40 \u00d7 65 cm. Adam is available in 40 \u00d7 65 cm, 50 \u00d7 80 cm, 60 \u00d7 100 cm, 70 \u00d7 110 cm, 80 \u00d7 130 cm, 90 \u00d7 150 cm, 110 \u00d7 180 cm and 125 \u00d7 205 cm. A simple rule for Adam: it should be about two thirds as wide as the furniture below it, with its centre about 150 cm from the floor.<\/p>\n
We ship Adam rolled in a sturdy tube, stretched on 2.5 cm deep wooden stretcher bars, or framed \u2013 you choose when you order. Stretching and framing of Adam are done in our workshop in Slovenia. When a size of Adam is in stock, it reaches you within 6 working days; a study of Adam painted to order reaches you in 15 to 45 days.<\/p>\n
No. Every brushstroke of Adam is painted by hand on canvas, so the paint visibly stands up from the surface.<\/p>\n
Yes. We also paint Adam in a custom size; enter the width and height you want when you order Adam.<\/p>\n
For a pair choose both paintings in the same size, for example 70 \u00d7 110 cm or 90 \u00d7 150 cm, which we offer for Adam and for Eve.<\/p>\n
