“Creation of Eve” is an artwork by Marc Chagall, created in 1931 in Paris, France. The piece was made using gouache and oil on paper and belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement. It is a religious painting measuring 58 x 42.5 cm.
The artwork portrays a biblical scene where Eve is depicted emerging from a luminescent cloud-like form, while a figure presumably representing Adam lies below her on the ground. The use of subdued, monochromatic tones lends a dreamlike quality to the painting, while the fluid shapes and ethereal atmosphere are characteristic of Chagall’s unique style. The composition draws attention to the divine act of creation, emphasizing the spiritual connection between the heavenly and earthly realms.
