Six Days of Creation and Shabbos Blessing Hand Embellished Giclee Set

“The Six Days of Creation” is a visual reflection of the world as it is described in Bereishis — unfolding day by day, stage by stage, as light is separated from darkness, heavens from earth, waters gathered, land revealed, and the sun, moon, stars, plants, animals, and all living creatures come into being. Each section of the painting hints to one of the sheshes yemei bereishis, distinct yet interconnected, echoing the order and harmony that the Torah describes.

The colors move from deep blues to warm golds, with layered textures that bring depth and movement to the scenes. These transitions are meant to evoke the majesty and wonder of creation as described in Bereishis — each day purposeful, each detail intentional, each element placed with wisdom. My goal was to convey the grandeur, the beauty, and the sense of awe that the pesukim inspire, and the feeling of standing before a world formed with Divine intention. 

Touches of 24k gold leaf are woven throughout the painting, symbolizing the Divine light that rests within the physical world — a reminder that creation is not only magnificent, but filled with holiness. The painting is rich in color and emotion, blending realism with abstraction to capture both the structure and the mystery of creation.

“The Seventh Day — Shabbos Blessings” is a painting that captures one of the most tender and luminous moments of Shabbos: the father placing his hands on his children’s heads and offering them a brachah as the candles glow softly nearby.

I wanted this scene to feel warm, intimate, and full of the light that Shabbos brings into our homes — the kind of light that doesn’t simply illuminate a room, but fills the heart. The strokes are textured and expressive, blending purples, blues, and warm golds to evoke both the serenity and the quiet awe of this weekly moment. The 24k gold leaf accents are not just decorative; they represent kedushah, the holiness that settles into a Jewish home as Shabbos arrives.

The children look upward with trust and anticipation, absorbing the love in their father’s hands and the sanctity of his words. For me, this ritual embodies everything I strive to paint — the beauty in our traditions, the emotional truth in our relationships, and the spiritual light that flows through Jewish life.

While each painting stands on its own, together they form a complete story: six days of creation, and the seventh day that brings meaning, rest, and spiritual elevation. Side by side, they reflect the rhythm of Jewish life — the beauty of the world Hashem created, and the sanctity of Shabbos that completes it.
