Illustrations and Insights from the Old Testament E Gabbay

How does the story of creation start in the Old Testament? The texts and paintings in this book are to give insight and encourage readers to follow other books to expand their knowledge in art, religion and daily life. Most of the paintings are the author's creations, in a mystical, symbolic style, with a Judaic point of view. There are a few paintings from Biblical artists of the past such as Leonardo Da Vinci, whose works decorate ceilings of the Sistine Chapel. The author's paintings are not just beauty at the surface but have deeper meanings hidden inside. Every painting may inspire a certain category of readers. They speak about the relationship between God and man, our behavior toward others, and our duty toward nature. These artworks give the reader a sense of hope and awe. Many of the paintings teach us the importance of learning history so we may prevent history from repeating itself. In today's world, our actions matter. We all share this beautiful and magnificent planet, and it is each and everyone's duty to learn and then educate future generations to come. We can all start by conserving the rich biodiversity that is keeping all the parts of the world in total equilibrium. We can all have a peaceful, harmonious life for generations to come if we keep greed at bay and conserve this glorious planet.
