Description from the seller
- Oil on canvas. Original canvas. Marks of a former owner on the back.
- Lilith emerges from the shadows of mythology as the mother of all erotic insubordination, the first rebel who preferred exile in the Red Sea to submission, becoming the archetype of the supernatural femme fatale. Under her line, succubi and demon women with a sensual appearance operate at the edge between dream and waking, using beauty as a weapon of metaphysical siege to drain the will of the sleeper. These beings are not mere monsters, but mirrors of a forbidden desire: their silk skin and abyssal gazes represent inborn temptation, an aesthetics of danger where the sublime and the sinister merge. In demonological imagination, this diabolic sensuality is a reminder that evil rarely appears grotesque, but as a promise of absolute pleasure which, behind its mask of carnal harmony, hides the devouring void of the eternal night.

In Montbaron Gallery, we are pleased to offer our clients an exclusive selection of artworks, all of them unique, original and unrepeatable. Each piece in our gallery is the result of deep dedication, a creative vision, and masterful technique, qualities that guarantee its authenticity.

Thus, we guarantee that every piece that leaves our gallery is a one-of-a-kind item in the world, with no replicas, and a testimony to the innovation and passion of the artists we work with.
Certain lots, due to their age and value, require an export permit granted by the Ministry of Culture. Although this is an administrative procedure, it is essential to ensure the authenticity of the artwork and its free international circulation.
