Size Framed: 490 x 630mm
Medium: Oils
In this artwork, “The Light Of Passover”, Mavis draws on the powerful theme of the Passover Seder, a deeply significant ritual in Jewish tradition commemorating our people’s liberation from oppression. The piece evokes cherished memories for the artist, of sitting around the Seder table with her family, the air filled with the taste of matzah, the recitation of ancient prayers, and the sounds of songs and laughter. The artist uses oil on canvas to capture the fluidity, depth, layers and vibrancy of the Seder. The colours and brushstrokes symbolise the warmth and depth of the Seder experience and the lively conversations that unfold as we retell the story of our people’s journey from slavery to freedom. Through this piece, the artist hopes that viewers not only witness the visual representation of the Seder, but to also feel a connection to the spirit of joy, togetherness, and freedom that defines this sacred occasion. A celebration of family, faith, resilience of the human spirit, continuity and connection with past generations, and the privilege of passing on these traditions to future generations.
