A Brief Review Of Kabbalah Inspired Paintings

By Sharon Stevens


While there are a number of paintings based on spirituality and scripture, those based on mystical aspects are often some of the most breathtaking. Take for example, the artist Marc Chagall, while popular for light and shadow, a number of pieces by this renowned artist were Kabbalah Inspired Paintings.

Marc Chagall worked in a variety of mediums and left quite a legacy for the world to enjoy upon his passing. Mostly known for his dramatic stained glass window paintings, cubism and expressionism, Chagall also worked in other areas. Whereas, Friedman host a website which includes a number of different paintings and prints inspired by the ancient mysteries and wisdom of the Kabbalah.

To better understand Chagall and other artists working in this genre, one must first understand what it is that inspires this type work. The term Kabbalah refers to the ancient mystical teachings which create a harmonious wholeness within each individual whom studies and imparts the ideology into every day life. Often mistaken as a religious path, Kabbalah is not a religion but rather an ideology which can help promote peace, love and everlasting wellness within an individual.

As most often work in this genre is related to the teachings of the Kabbalah, themes often include the Cosmos, Cosmology, Fractals, Eternity, Sacred Geometry, the 42 letters which reflect the names of God and the Tree of Life. In addition, as teachings use analogies such as mountains, rivers and streams, these can also be found in this form of inspired art.

For those interested in perusing these inspirational pieces, a number can be found the Pinterest website. While some are only available for viewing, there are also a number of prints for sale by different artists and markets. While stained glass paintings tend to outnumber other works, Chagall worked in a variety of mediums.

The San Francisco area has a number of galleries and museums which feature the work of Chagall and other similar artists of the time. Whether visiting the Franklin Bowles or Weinstein art galleries or the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, individuals will find a number of works in different genres by Chagall. In fact, most galleries place these works in window displays due to the inviting nature of the artwork.

For those interested in checking out newer art inspired by the Kabbalah, the website Kosmic-Kabbalah dot com features more recent art by David Friedman. While similar to Chagall, the artist takes a more modern approach and works mainly with canvas and print. While this is the case, it is still some of the most modern spiritual art in galleries and on the market at this time.

When looking to acquire a Chagall painting or stained glass window or desiring to peruse the more modern paintings of David Friedman, searching for a local gallery dealing in these pieces is often the best bet. In many cases, when an inquiry is made at a gallery, the curator will attempt to locate a desired piece or pieces whether from the artist, a private dealer or another gallery.
