Prophet Jonah

Status: in private collection Price: n/a SIze: 30 x 20 cm Technique: mixed media Description: This stylized interpretation of the biblical story of Jonah presents a rich, folk-inspired vision of the prophet’s moment of deliverance. Seated atop a great fish, Jonah emerges from the depths, holding a sacred tablet as he gazes toward the shore. The swirling waves, rendered in deep blues, contrast with the lush green landscape beyond, where shadowy figures watch from the palms, adding a sense of mystery and tension. The fish, with its serpent-like form and expressive eye, takes on a mythical presence, bridging the boundary between divine intervention and folklore. The skeletal remains of fish in the foreground subtly allude to fate and mortality. Through its intricate details and medieval-inspired composition, this piece transforms a well-known biblical tale into a vivid, symbolic meditation on redemption, destiny, and the power of faith.
