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 In the Sky" depicts the city of Jerusalem set in the clouds of the sky. The Jerusalem buildings are domed roofs with arched windows and are surrounded by the walls of Jerusalem. Flying high above the city is a White Dove signifying Peace. The bottom part of the sky seems to have a sun with a menorah in it. The top part of the sky is a night sky with tiny gold foil stars dotting the sky. This print is done in typical Bracha Lavee style, using gold foil edging and outlining parts of the picture to give it that aura of mystery.
