Kabbalah in Bronze Artwork

New Artwork - 2011

" Togetherness" - Caf Vav Kuf

About the artist Linda Saskia Menczel

The following artwork has created as a result of a brief initiation into kabbalah at the London Kabbalah Center. As an artist I found the subject of the 72 Names of God highly inspirational and spent the last 5 years creating bas-relief and ronde-bosse bronze sculptures portraying each of the 72 Names.

A complete collection of my artwork can be seen at http://www.saskia.ro/

Above, the first four 'Names' as they look on their final mounting
