Kosmic Kabbalah Art

What is Kosmic Kabbalah Art?

The word 'cosmos' refers to the physical universe seen as an orderly harmonious Whole. The original Greek word 'Kosmos' however, refers to the Whole of all existence - in all realms - physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. The Hebrew word Kabbalah refers to the ancient mystical teachings that describe the Kosmos as an orderly harmonious Whole.

The teachings and much of the artwork presented on this site deal with Kosmic themes that are based on the Kabbalah: Infinity, Eternity, Kosmogeny, Holy Names, Mandalas, Sacred Geometry, Fractals, and Sefirotic Maps of the Kosmos (Tree of Life Diagrams).

All of the Giclee prints on canvas as well as all the prints on paper are hand-signed. The canvas prints can be stretched and framed without glass. The paper prints should be framed with glass.

There are some new pictures that are only now available as Giclee prints on canvas. To view them go to 'New Works' under the 'Artworks by Subject' heading.

Primary Shapes

“3 Mothers ש מ א Shin, Mem, and Aleph in the Soul dimension are the head, the belly, and the chest. The head is created from Fire, the belly is created from Water and in the chest is the Breath of Air that is between them." (Sefer Yetzirah 3:6) The 3 Mothers can also hint at the 3 primary shapes in Geometry - the triangle, the circle, and the rectangle. ש Shin is Gematria 300, or in… more

Mandala Number 12

This is a Geometric picture based on the number 12. A circle can be seen in the center of this image with a 12-pointed star embedded in it. There are 12 more circles of the same size surrounding and touching the central circle. They overlap each other. The number 12 is an important organizing number in the Kabbalah. In Sefer Yetzirah, the 12 Simple Letters in Time are the… more

The Seven Days of Creation

In Sefer Yetzirah, the Seven Doubles in Time are the 7 days of the week - based on the Story of Creation in the Book of Genesis. The scene in the circle (in the yellow ring) represents the 1st Day of Creation - when God created Light, separated it from the Dark, and “saw that the Light is Good”. Moving clockwise to the next circle (in the orange ring) represents the 2nd Day - when… more

Kosmic Knots

This picture is influenced by the amazing art of M. C. Escher. This design is also reminiscent of Celtic Knots. It is based on the Sacred Geometry expressed in the order of the 3 groups of the 22 Hebrew Letters - 3 Mothers, 7 Doubles and 12 Simples - found in Sefer Yetzirah.

The Big Bang

Albert Einstein said “Science without Religion is lame, and Religion without Science is blind.” The Kabbalists have always seen the two as complementary rather than contradictory. The cosmology of Kabbalah and of Modern Science can also be seen as complementary perspectives. In the Kabbalah, the Creation of the Universe is spoken of as a contraction of God’s Infinite Light.… more

KaleidoKosmic

This Geometric picture evokes a Tree of Life Diagram in that it has a ladder-like feel to it. Several six-pointed Star of Davids can be seen in it, but when one gazes at its center it changes and moves almost like a kaleidoscope. When the mind lets go of analyzing and trying the identify the parts it can quiet and just enjoy the experience of looking at the whole picture… more

A Tapestry of Holy Names

In Genesis, God created Adam "in His own Image, in His own Likeness". However, since we believe that God has no image or likeness, Kabbalists understand this as saying that God makes Himself known to us in our likeness by ‘clothing’ Himself in the 10 Sefirot of Adam Kadmon - associated with the 4 Letters of the Name of God יהוה (YHVH). The 4 Holy Names in this 'Tapestry' are the… more

Yin-Yang Aleph

The idea non-duality is found in many spiritual traditions. In this picture I fused the Hebrew letter א Aleph with the Chinese Yin-Yang symbol. Both symbols represent non-duality or the unification of opposites: Heaven and Earth, Hot and Cold, Masculine and Feminine, Outside and Inside, etc. The small circles inside both halves represent how there is Feminine is the Masculine;… more

THE ARTIST DAVID FRIEDMAN

I immigrated to Israel in 1977 at the age of 20, and spent two years studying Torah in Jerusalem, where I met my wife, Miriam. We got married in 1979 and moved to Zefat.

In Zefat, I mostly immersed myself in the study of the Talmud and other classic texts of Judaism as well as Kabbalah, but I continued to make art at night.
