The inspiration for this painting came from my interest in the Kabbalistic perspective on the world, where the ideal human structure is represented by Adam Kadmon. This concept is also reflected in the structure of the Tree of Sefirot, where half of the Sefirot are traditionally associated with feminine energies and the other half with masculine energies. Both are essential to the ideal human prototype and form a unified whole.
