Global Views (NYC Exhibition) – May 2nd to May 4th

Dear Friends,
I am happy to announce my latest art exhibition, which will be a group show in NYC, and will take place on May 2nd to May 4th.  I will be there, and would love to see all of you at the opening reception, on Wednesday, May 2nd at 6 pm to 8 pm.  The art show will take place on Lag B’Omer, when the light of the Zohar was first revealed to the world by Rav Shimon bar Yochai.
I will be showcasing three amongst my favorite paintings:  Clouds of Friday Dusk II, Clouds of Friday Dusk III, and Out of Chaos.
These three pieces represent two important themes, which the Kabbalists throughout history have taught.  These are reflected in the titles of these works.  One theme is Friday night, when the two forces of male and female energies of this universe unite as one.  The second theme is removal of chaos individually and globally.  Please don’t hesitate to contact me for more information.
Lots of love,
Mina

One of the thoughts behind this painting is the value of breath. Fish live in a bubble called water, which they probably have… Continue Reading

View at Idra Rabba in Upper Galilee

Of all the places in the world, there are few that resonate with me as much as the Idra Rabba cave in Upper Galilee, Israel. This was where the great sage Rav Shimon bar Yochai decided to teach spirituality for the first time in public, and here he gathered his 9 chosen students to open… Continue Reading

“Purple Galaxy” painting by Mina Novian

Hi everyone! I’m very excited to share one of my latest oil on canvas paintings called “Purple Galaxy”. This painting is very special to me for several reasons. Each of my paintings contain a different 72 Name of God, and this particular one (on the bottom right of the painting) injects the energy of “Going… Continue Reading
