garden of earthly delights draws from the long tradition of artists embedding hidden imagery, satire and criticism within religious works. Inspired by Renaissance era tensions between artists, the Church and ruling classes, Aguilera hides his own visual joke within the composition, inviting the viewer to look again.
The work shares its title with Hieronymus Bosch’s The Garden of Earthly Delights, continuing that dialogue between religious imagery, temptation, humor and subversion.
