Four Worlds

Original painting · 34″ × 60″ · Oil and mixed media on canvas

Private collection.

This abstract work represents the four Kabbalistic worlds, Atzilut (Emanation), Beriah (Creation), Yetzirah (Formation) and Assiyah (Action), as a descending flow of colour and form. Each layer corresponds to a realm of being: spiritual, intellectual, emotional and physical.

It is a visual map of divine energy descending into matter, and of matter rising back toward its Source.
