Description

For this painting of the Revelation at Sinai, it was important for me to show the unique and indescribable nature of this event. In working with the paint, I entered that semi-meditative state of concentrationwhich I so look forward to. Slowly, a strange combination of colours took shape before me. The graduated pink and orange, together with the combination of blues, felt quite new and unexpected, and quite right. In the finished picture, the unfolding letters and words (which are the words of G-d) manifest themselves through the colour and flow of the ethereal sky. Below, Moshe and the people of Israel are more rooted to the earth, with its golden, ochre and brown hues, but their souls are dancing. I’ve tried to express this through their vibrant colours, as well as through their movement caught between frozen awe, and joy.
