In Eden, Katarina Riesing presents an intimate, closely cropped depiction of the human body, rendered with a delicate balance of precision and softness. The lithographic process captures the fine details of skin—its subtle shifts in tone, the way light glides across its surface—while hand-drawn elements add an organic, personal touch. There is an almost dreamlike quality to the composition, where the body exists in a state of quiet tension, both inviting and withholding. The title Eden suggests themes of desire, vulnerability, and temptation, evoking a space both sacred and sensual. As with much of Riesing’s work, this piece blurs the line between exposure and concealment, drawing the viewer into a private moment suspended in time.
