Javier talks about "Metatron's Speeches" “Metatron’s
Speeches” is inspired by the figure of the Metatron cube, which is,
as Wikipedia says: a figure that resume all the five platonic
solids and is known as a gift of the angel to humanity. It is a
two-dimensional geometric
Metatron's Cube shares 2-D
resonance with the Flower of Life. It is a sacred geometry figure.
It's
name makes reference to Metatron, a figure mentioned only in
apocryphal texts including the Book of Enoch or Sefer Hekhalot
and the Zohar. These texts rank Metatron second only to
YHVH in the hierarchy of spiritual beings. The derivation of Metatron's cube
from the tree of life, which the Talmud clearly states was excluded
from human experience during the exile from Eden, has led some
scholars including Johann Andreas Eisenmenger to portray Metatron
as the means by which humanity was given knowledge of YHVH. Presumably
implying that study of Metatron's cube would be necessary to
understanding the tree of life. It
is also well known that Metatron’s cube is a reflection of the
angel’s soul. And, in this particular interpretation of the cube, I
imagine the cube’s moving over the angel’s head and some times
over his chest, as it shines meanwhile he speeches. That's why the
name of the artwork, "Metatron's speeches", and then, I choose one flash
of light and captured it to be painted. dedicated to the Oneness
