Collection: shop la convoitise

"It is of the nature of desire not to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification of it." - Aristotle

La convoitise is most directly translated to mean "covetousness." This work is a depiction of a deep desire or longing for something that belongs to another. La convoitise is oft what lies behind ambition, hatred, success, zeal, and even jealousy. Feelings of desire stir inside of each of us in life, innocent or otherwise. It is central to the human condition for that reason, because it is known.

The original work is 18" x 24" made from acrylic paint and mediums on canvas.
