Tzelem: A Blog of Art and Ideas

Sanford L. Drob

Sanford L. Drob

Introduction

The word “tzelem,” Hebrew for image, invokes the idea that humans were created in the image of the divine. While this has traditionally been interpreted in moral and spiritual terms, the human figure, in its physical form, has served as a spiritual image in the Kabbalah and various other mystical traditions. Recently, I have taken up the practice of drawing and painting the figure, and I have found this practice to have a meditative and spiritual dimension. In this blog I record my efforts to improve my rendering of the human figure, to develop my skills as a draftsperson, and to enter into the magical alchemy of painting with oils. I also intend to share some of my thoughts and ideas about art and the creative process and to discuss their connection to my other areas of interest, specifically, philosophy, psychology and rational-mystical theology.

Readers interested in my views on these wider subjects may be interested in looking at my other websites:
