A Prayer at the Kotel

Artist: Daniel Avraham Haddad Year of Creation: 2024 Technique: Markers on canvas Size: 80 \ 50 cm Work Description: An expressive portrait of a Jewish figure immersed in prayer, created in a unique graphic language using markers on canvas. The work explores the tension between the worshiper's internal concentration and the spiritual energy bursting forth from him, represented through rapid strokes, turbulent lines, and golden "rays of light." The contrast between the figure's black attire and the bright, buzzing background creates a powerful visual experience of transcendence.
