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.

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

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

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.

A Tree Of Life For Those Who Hold It

The Verse עץ חיים היא למחזיקים בה framing this fiery scene is from the Book of Proverbs (3:18) and refers to the Torah, "a Tree of Life for those who hold fast to it". This is especially true of the soul of the Torah - Kabbalah. Its mystical teachings and meditative practices feed our soul. Had Adam and Eve eaten from the Tree of Life while still in the Garden of Eden, they would… 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

Kosmic Event

This image evokes a cosmic event in deep space like the ones photographed by the Hubble Space Telescope. Many see it as the Milky Way Galaxy . Edwin Hubble was the first astronomer to realize that our Galaxy is only one of billions or trillions of galaxies that are in our Universe. This was in the 1920's. Pretty much everyone before that assumed that the Milky Way was… 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

Mandala Number 6

This Geometric picture is based on the number 6. A bright orange 6-pointed Star of David (Magen David) is embedded in the central circle. A smaller white Magen David is embedded in the hexagon that is the center of the orange Star. The hexagon at the center of that white Magen David can be seen as a cube. This motif is similar to the one I used in my picture 'The Holy… 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.
