‘Vulnerable Temptation’ is an original painting in the style of abstract realism, where emotion, symbolism and sensuality intertwine. This expressive canvas artwork captures a female figure delicately entangled with raspberries, using the fruit as a metaphor for temptation, femininity and inner vulnerability. In art and literature, the raspberry often symbolizes forbidden desire, sensual sweetness and fleeting pleasure and in this piece, it is elevated to a central visual motif.
The softness of the woman's posture contrasts with the vibrant, almost luscious energy of the berries, creating a visual tension that is both seductive and introspective. The imagery speaks to the idea that what tempts us can also expose our most tender parts, that seduction is not only external but often a reflection of inner longing and emotional exposure.
As part of my ongoing abstract realism series, 'Vulnerable Temptation' is painted with layered brushwork, translucent glazes and rich, textured color. This painting is perfect for collectors drawn to modern feminine symbolism, surreal figurative art and emotionally charged visual storytelling.

‘Vulnerable Temptation’ is een origineel schilderij in abstract realisme waarin vrouwelijkheid, verlangen en kwetsbaarheid samenkomen. In dit werk staat de framboos centraal als symbool: een vrucht die in de kunst en literatuur vaak staat voor verleiding, zoete zonde en het vergankelijke genot van begeerte. In dit schilderij wordt de framboos niet alleen als visueel element gebruikt maar als diepere metafoor voor vrouwelijke kracht én gevoeligheid.
De vrouw op het doek lijkt gevangen tussen verlangen en terughoudendheid, haar houding zacht en bijna breekbaar, terwijl de frambozen als vurige accenten om haar heen dansen. Ze symboliseren hoe verlangen zowel een kracht als een kwetsbaarheid kan zijn. De framboos, met haar rode kleur, delicate structuur en sensuele vorm, belichaamt de spanning tussen aantrekking en overgave.
Met haar gelaagde penseelvoering en dromerige sfeer nodigt dit schilderij de toeschouwer uit om stil te staan bij de complexiteit van verleiding en emotie. 'Vulnerable Temptation' past perfect bij liefhebbers van betekenisvolle, moderne kunst met vrouwelijke symboliek en een surrealistische, emotionele ondertoon.
