Bracha Lavee is an Israeli artist whose expressive art combines Jerusalem, Israeli and Bible themes with a contemporary visual style which is deeply rooted in ancient and modern biblical experiences. Her use of felt in bright, semi-tropical colors allows her to express these themes dramatically.
This beautiful piece, entitled "Jerusalem Shall Dwell Secure" is an appropriate message/wish for these difficult times. It depicts the city of Jerusalem to the right with buildings that are unique in style to her. To the left are the hills & mountains of Jerusalem. Towering above the mountaints are two arches with 2 doves signifying peace. There are prayer shawls in the sky draped over the buildings. At bottom center are the seven species of Israel. This print is done in typical Bracha Lavee style, using gold foil accents and outline to give the picture that aura of mystery.
This artwork would make a wonderful gift and is perfect for any one who loves Israel.
