ARTIST'S INTRODUCTION

Dear friends,

As a biblical artist, the time has come, thank God, to go public. I have been permitted to publish and so I present

to the viewer this revelation of the Bible, from the Creation up to the Third Temple according to Ezekiel's vision in chapter 40. It covers the whole journey of the people of Israel from the desert until the destruction of the Second Temple, including all that happened to the people, all the stories. There are nearly 80 models shown in built-in 3D, involving various forms of artistic techniques. Most of the materials used are natural.

Thank God, wonders and miracles have accompanied me throughout the work of modeling. All these have enveloped me in a divinely inspired journey back in time to each and every story. I simply "changed my address" and connected with the content of each story, from prophet to prophetess, from hero to heroine, from king to king. It is simply amazing to understand the inner recesses of the human brain. One fine day a person gets up, not connected in any way with any category of art, not painting, not sculpture, not any of the forms of creativity absorbed in various academies all over the world. As a result of a life-threatening danger and until clarification of a divine revelation of all our fore-fathers – Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and all the other biblical standard-bearers such as Saul, David and Solomon. Colors such as purple, scarlet, light blue and a combination of colors were an integral part of the decoration in each and every story. The desire to paint, build and sculpture was too great for me, and from that day in the hospital I began to paint, illustrate and dream about the biblical people of Israel.

Today, thank God, after decades of biblical composition, I am ready to bring to anyone, wherever he or she is and without differences of religion, race or sex, the biblical content from the creation until the vision of the Third Temple. In order to know of His Presence, nature and destiny in this world, as Providence envelops me day and night I am happy with my portion and the privilege given to me to strengthen the faith of those who believe in Him in this generation and in future generations. May it be God's will.

Yours,

Daniel Avital
