"Ethqara," an Aramaic word meaning "Revelation" or "Manifestation," reflects a quiet exploration of life’s intricate relationships and subtle connections. The painting invites viewers into a flowing, dynamic composition where forms emerge organically, encouraging personal interpretation and reflection.
Figures blend into the swirling textures, their gestures and postures gently woven into the patterns of life and nature. At the center, two figures seem to inhabit a moment of tension—one looking back, the other seems to be holding on to him, as if held by unseen ties. Toward the left, a gathering of enlightened forms surrounds a prophetic figure, their presence evoking a sense of spiritual realization. The use of halos and guiding light draws subtle inspiration from Renaissance art, reinterpreted in a contemporary, intuitive context.
Elsewhere, faint details suggest creatures and faces taking shape within the painting’s layers, like whispers from the imagination. These elements invite the viewer to linger, to seek meaning in the interplay between the visible and the hidden, the tangible and the ethereal.
