Forbidden Lemon is an original acrylic painting on canvas (70x80 cm / 28x31 inches) by Uslada, available for acquisition.
This work from the Forbidden Fruit series reclaims the sharp, invigorating essence of lemon as a vital "forbidden" flavor — challenging the internalized prohibitions and shame that prevent us from fully tasting life's palette.
In the Forbidden Fruit series, Uslada allegorically explores how we irrationally cut ourselves off from experiencing existence in all its diverse flavors, starting from the archetype of the forbidden apple and extending to orange, lemon, lime, pear, banana, and fig. The lemon alone may seem sour and uninviting, yet in its rightful place within the symphony of tastes, it contributes to profound ecstasy and wholeness.
Forbidden Lemon celebrates this integration: a bold declaration against self-imposed mistrust of whatever makes us feel truly alive, radiant with sensual energy, liberation from judgment, and joyful embrace of passionate desire.
Rendered in Uslada's fluid symbolic forms, the painting pulses with vitality and transformative power — an invitation to dissolve inner prohibitions and live without apology.
Signed as "foxi" (the artist's pseudonym Foxi Von Riga, used until her name change to Uslada in 2019).
Acrylic on canvas, 70x80 cm (28x31 inches). Taxes and shipping fees apply.
