The Four Angels:
Michael, Gavriel, Uriel, Raphael
THE ANGEL MICHAEL
In
the painting the circle symbolizes
the element of water and the "sfira"
or spiritual quality of Chesed - Kindness.
The right hand signifies the
right side
configuration of the Lion Angel
in the Divine Chariot.
This is Michael
who is in charge
of the hours from dawn until mid-day,
being signified in the
painting
by a ray of light piercing through the center.
Half of the dominant
spiral form
can be viewed as
a menora or Jewish candelabra.

THE ANGEL GAVRIEL
The triangular form of the painting
represents the Element
of Fire.
Amongst the Four Angels
of the Divine Chariot,
the Bull
on the left side is
associated with Gavriel and
the quality of Gevura or Severity,
which is
also connected with
the dominant red color of the painting.
At each apex of
the triangle
is a shofar or ram's horn,
which was used in biblical times
as a call
to battle
and symbolizes the idea of
the zimzum or contraction.

THE ANGEL URIEL
The ellipsoid shape of the painting
represents the
Element of Air.
Its central image is
the visage of the Eagle
in the Divine Chariot
from
which bursts
a luminous ball of light.
Hovering above the wings is
a mysterious
visage suggesting
the Shechina or Divine Presence.
The canvas is divided into
a dark and light section
symbolizing the harmony and balance
between darkness and light.
The high flying Eagle is associated
with the Angel Uriel
and is in charge of the hours
from midnight to dawn.

THE
ANGEL RAPHAEL
The
square shape of the painting
and the dominant green color
of its central image represents
its essential form - the Element of Earth.
The image is the visage of
the Man in the Divine Chariot,
which is
associated with
Raphael, the Angel of Healing.
Hence from the "eyes" of the visage
project beams of light to heal the world.
Raphael is in charge of the
hours
from evening to midnight,
suggested by the black background.
