Jacob and the angel

The image vividly portrays the Biblical struggle between Jacob and the angel, a moment that is both chaotic and profound. The intense dynamism of the scene is captured through the explosive interplay of colors and forms, with Jacob and the angel locked in an epic battle that is as much spiritual as it is physical. The contrasting colors evoke the fiery intensity of the encounter, which resulted in Jacob’s transformation and the acquisition of his new name, Israel. This artwork is a powerful embodiment of the struggle for identity, blessing, and the human connection with the divine.
