While there are a number of paintings based on spirituality and scripture, those based on mystical aspects are often some of the most breathtaking. Take for example, the artist Marc Chagall, while popular for light and shadow, a number of pieces by this renowned artist were Kabbalah Inspired Paintings.

Marc Chagall worked in a variety of mediums and left quite a legacy for the world to enjoy upon his passing. Mostly known for his dramatic stained glass window paintings, cubism and expressionism, Chagall also worked in other areas. Whereas, Friedman host a website which includes a number of different paintings and prints inspired by the ancient mysteries and wisdom of the Kabbalah.

To better understand Chagall and other artists working in this genre, one must first understand what it is that inspires this type work. The term Kabbalah refers to the ancient mystical teachings which create a harmonious wholeness within each individual whom studies and imparts the ideology into every day life. Often mistaken as a religious path, Kabbalah is not a religion but rather an ideology which can help promote peace, love and everlasting wellness within an individual.

As with the teachings, the paintings and other pieces inspired by the Kabbalah often promote a feeling harmony and well being. Themes in the genre tend to include Sacred Geometry, the 42 letters which reflect the names of God and the Tree of Life. In addition, the teachings use natural resources such as air, earth, fire and water and often portray a sense of a Spiritual aspect.

The popular website Pinterest host a number of paintings and prints by Marc Chagall. While some are only available for viewing, others are available for purchase. In addition, there are a number of products which feature works by Chagall such as magnets and other items available on websites such as Amazon and Wish.

When desiring to view the work of Chagall in person, one of the best places to do so is at the Franklin Bowles and Franklin Weinstein galleries and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art also known as SFMOMA in San Francisco's Union Square. Some of the most dramatic paintings by Chagall can be found at these locations. In fact, when one of the galleries features a Chagall in the window, most passers by are drawn inside by the beautiful color and light which exudes from the painting.

For those interested in checking out newer art inspired by the Kabbalah, the website Kosmic-Kabbalah dot com features more recent art by David Friedman. While similar to Chagall, the artist takes a more modern approach and works mainly with canvas and print. While this is the case, it is still some of the most modern spiritual art in galleries and on the market at this time.

When looking to acquire a Chagall painting or stained glass window or desiring to peruse the more modern paintings of David Friedman, searching for a local gallery dealing in these pieces is often the best bet. In many cases, when an inquiry is made at a gallery, the curator will attempt to locate a desired piece or pieces whether from the artist, a private dealer or another gallery.
