Adam, the first man on Earth, was bestowed life by the hand of the Almighty. The mind and will of a handsome and strong young man are still asleep; he limply reaches out his hand to God, who transmits with his index finger life-giving energy to his creation. The figure of Adam holds the power and strength received from God. His gaze, turned to God, is full of anticipation.
It is this short distance between the fingers of God and Adam that conceals the essence and magnetic attraction of the whole work. It seems that the Creator sends the man an electric current, the spark of life.
God is depicted flying across the boundless space of the Universe. A cloak floats behind him, like a sail. It unites angels surrounding the Creator.
An angel looks over God’s shoulder, struck by the beauty of the first man.
Art experts suggest that the outlines of the cape resemble the contours of the human brain. This symbol shows God as the supreme mind, the origin of man’s thoughts and will.
