- From TEARS FROM HEAVEN
The artwork features a surreal composition with a prominent, realistic green eye embedded within a fluffy white cloud in a bright blue sky. Below the eye, large tears drop into the ocean. Beneath the tear, there is a water surface rendered in deep blue, where the tear drop creates concentric ripples and a small splash at the point of impact. The horizon line is faint but defines the separation between sky and water, with a small strip of orange suggesting a distant land or sunset. The painting juxtaposes the natural elements of sky and water with the unexpected human eye, evoking themes of emotion, nature, and surrealism. The intricate golden frame enhances the presentation of this vividly imaginative scene.
“Tears from Heaven”
This painting represents God looking down from heaven with sadness and compassion for all the pain and suffering in the world. It represents God’s desire for us to repair, heal, and transform the world and to correct injustice. In Judaism the concept of humanity’s shared responsibility to heal the world is called Tikkun Olam. This concept is a fundamental moral principal in modern Judaism.
This painting has many layers of meaning and symbolism, inspired by my father who painted while he was completely blind.
