Divine Rebellion

A bold reinterpretation of Michelangelo’s iconic Creation of Adam, this hand-drawn, hand-painted artwork blends myth, rebellion, and divine energy in an unexpected way. Rendered in an elegant Art Nouveau style, this piece reimagines the moment of connection—not between Adam and God, but between Lilith and the divine. Lilith, often depicted as Adam’s first wife and a figure of defiance, sits in celestial repose, reaching out to touch God’s hand—not in subservience, but in camaraderie. Between them, a shared joint burns, symbolizing an unconventional bond, an exchange of knowledge, and a challenge to traditional narratives of power and creation. Below them, two snakes hold up an apple, a direct reference to the biblical tale of Adam and Eve, yet here, the symbolism is reframed. Instead of temptation leading to exile, the snakes become keepers of wisdom, offering enlightenment rather than punishment. This imagery reclaims the apple as a symbol of knowledge, free will, and divine autonomy,
