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.

The Tree of Life

Life is a dynamic process of balancing between hot and cold; activity and rest; nature and nurture. Balancing between what we keep private and what we share with others; and between many other complementary pairs of opposites. The lower half of this picture shows the circular Root System of this Tree of Life. The 10 concentric Roots and the Seed relate to the tenth… more

Microkosmic

This pictures looks like something one might see under a microscope, thus the title - Microkosmic. To me it looks like cells that have a fractal nature - self-similar but in different sizes. Some of the cells also contain several smaller self-similar cells. The round shapes also evoke a coronavirus, that is challenging our planet in 2020.

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

Flower Sefirot

I used flowers to represent the Sefirot in this Tree of Life Diagram. Although an Aleph cannot be seen in this picture, its presence can be felt in this ‘Slanted Sefirot’ motif where the red higher Sefirot hint at the Heavens; the blue lower Sefirot hint at Earth; and the yellow diagonal hints at the Air that is between them.

Supernova

I call this picture Supernova because of its explosion of warm colors away from the cool center. "Supernovae are exploding stars. They represent the very final stages of evolution for some stars. Supernovae explosions release tremendous amounts of energy, about 1020 times as our Sun releases every second. Our Sun, fortunately, will not end its life as a supernova. Currently,… more

Partners in Creation

The Sages of the Talmud taught that there are 3 partners in the creation of every human being: A father who gives the ‘white’ parts of the body; a mother who gives the ‘red’ parts; and God - who is present in the union of the two parents - and who gives us our consciousness, our 5 senses and our Soul. This whole picture can be seen as just one figure, a Grandfather סבא (associated… more

Kosmic DNA

When the Sefirot are presented in the Tanya (the classic text from the first Lubavitcher Rebbe) they are called 3 Mothers and 7 Doubles. The 3 Mothers refer to the three higher Sefirot. The Seven Doubles refer to the seven lower Sefirot. However, the original source of the terms Three Mothers and Seven Doubles is the Sefer Yetzirah, where the 22 Hebrew Letters are presented as three… more

The Holy Palace

"7 Doubles are the Foundation of 3 opposite 3 with the one deciding between them." (Sefer Yetzirah) In terms of colors, ‘3’ are the 3 primary colors - blue, red and yellow. The ‘opposite 3’ are their complements - orange, green and purple. Like in the 6-pointed Star of David (Magen David) seen here. One triangle (pointing down) is made with the primary colors and… 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.
