12 Tribes of Israel collection

In addition, the following commentary was given by Galina Podolsky:

​

"In his book, The Jewish War Josephus Flavius ​​quotes a story passed orally: 'God proclaimed victory in a battle with the help of twelve stones worn by the high priest on his chest in a breastplate. ... on every stone is the fate of the Jewish tribes ... The Book of Exodus'.

 

The Twelve Tribes of Israel by Victor Brindatch appeared in the world as a reminder of the artist's mission, who brought them from the world of prophecy to the age of the death of the thematic painting.

​

Victor created the collection The Twelve Tribes of Israel in the years 2011-2014. 

Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Zebulun, Dan, Gad, Asher, Naftali, Joseph, Benjamin - the land of Israel was bequeathed to them and their descendants.

​

In the work of Victor Brindacth, they seemed to appear into the world from a cosmic window - they appeared and, not being afraid of bloody prophecies, remained here, becoming the Creator's own people. And they built Jerusalem, which became a symbol of what is holy in the world.  The Twelve Tribes of Israel is a collection portraying the story The Blessing of Jacob by the modern Israeli artist.

​

Compositionally, the gemstones are a scarlet thread of color and meaning that unites Victor Brindatch's epic collection of paintings and sing hymns of light, beauty, and love.

​

The objects on the canvas are emotionally connected. They either float or soar in the weightlessness of the circle they have outlined. Each of the realities is conceptually saturated: a constellation, a gem, an emblem of a tribe. All this is tied into an associative fabric and at the same time represents a logical polyphony of the composition of the figurative structure of the monumental collection of Victor Brindatch."
