Eternal Letters III Painting

Jewish tradition is steeped in history and symbolism. In fact, the Hebrew language is an ancient art form in and of itself. My Eternal Letter series highlights and glorifies this culture-rich dialect and the powerful role it has played over the years. The latest piece of modern figurative abstract art in my collection features bold colors, strong imagery, and scattered Hebrew letters. I felt it important to weave the letters through the painting and intertwine them with the other symbolic images to emphasize how integral the language is, and always has been, to the Jewish faith. My use of primary colors in their purest, brightest form was very deliberate. The heavy indigo blue used as the background is the color of Judaism, representing the idea of spirituality. It perfectly offsets against the golden yellow Biblical Hebrew symbolic letters while emphasizing the burst of vibrant yellow in the sunflowers. To me, these represent the resilience, belief, and unwavering faith of the Jewish people.
