Let the Waters Part
The painting "Let the Waters Part" evokes a profound connection with the biblical story of creation. In Genesis 1:6, we are told: "Then God said, 'Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, to separate the waters from the waters.'" This verse speaks of God's action of ordering chaos, of establishing boundaries to allow for the emergence of life.
In abstract art, this idea of giving form and meaning to chaos is manifest in the works of painters like Jackson Pollock. Pollock said, "Painting has a life of its own. I try to let it emerge." As in the biblical story, the abstract artist seeks to organize the chaos of colors and shapes into an expression that transcends the visible.
The work "Let the Waters Part," with its vibrant bursts of color and movement, seems to capture that primordial moment of separation and creation. The use of color and form suggests a dynamic energy, as if the waters themselves were in a constant process of transformation and renewal. Here, art becomes an act of creation in a divine manner, where each stroke and color finds its place in a harmonious whole.
This painting invites not only aesthetic reflection, but also spiritual reflection, reminding us that beauty can emerge from chaos and that art, like creation, is a continuous process of discovery and revelation.
