Since Adam and Eve No. 5

In the case of Ernesto Deira, the painting should not be associated with a religious representation -as was the case at the time with Luis Felipe Noé- but as a reference to humanity, to the consequences of the knowledge of good and evil. The iconographic theme may have derived from his interest in Judaism, stimulated by his wife, the pianist Olga Galperin. The choice of a theme with a long tradition in the West -which anyone can recognize in its content- implied questioning the viewer from its metaphorical capacity in a time marked by vital decisions on political commitment. This interpellation can also be indicated in the series of previous inks with bodies of tortured and violent strokes under the title "There were always angels", which play on the same terrain of the biblical association.
