King David and Bathsheba (2) - 2000, Pastel and coloured pencil on paper, 62 x 54 cm


Erotic attraction represents something both sensual and spiritual, for as well as providing physical pleasure it is also a seeking of the soul for its own completion. From the first ecstatic moment of love between Bathsheba and David, there has resulted a spiritual love as well. From their union has come Solomon, the king of Israel. When love has gone through all the many tests, it connects us with our own souls, and with a feeling of permanence, meaning and rightness in life.
