Jewish Latin Princess

Arte judía moderna

febrero 15, 2016 by Yael Deja un comentario

Shabbat candles with pop art about second temple

B»H

Admito que el rezar con concentración no es uno de mis fuertes. (Está bien, digámoslo como es. ¡Logro suficiente es el que me siente a rezar!) Sin embargo, los dos minutos que me tomo para prender mis velas de Shabbat todos los viernes en la tarde son unos de los momentos y rezos con mas intensión y enfoque que hago o tengo durante toda la semana.

 Luego de pedir por todas las cosas personales y específicas, siempre concluyo con un rezo por la Redención inmediata.

A través de los años he trabajando en visualizar el Templo (Beit Hamikdash) en mi mente, puesto que esto me ayuda en mi rezo.

Por eso, cuando estuve pensando en que tipo de arte iba a poner sobre mi área de prender las velas, se me ocurrió utilizar la visualización que me ayuda en ese momento de rezo como punto de partida e inspiración para mi arte.

Excepto que necesitaba algo que fuera también visualmente atractivo para mi. El arte es algo tan personal, ya se. A mi me fascina el uso de color (como si no lo supieran ya). También me encanta el uso de arte moderna en espacios clásicos. El contraste me mata. Aquí les muestro sólo algunos de los ejemplos que he acumulado durante los años en mi Pinterest (me pueden seguir aquí.)

Así es que cuando estaba definiendo que tipo de arte pondría en ese espacio donde prendo las velas de Shabbat, tenía la sensación de que quería algo que creara este tipo de contraste en lo que es un cuarto bastante clásico. ¡Buscaba arte en la cual tanto el tema como el estilo de la pieza fueran algo totalmente inesperado!

Dining Room painted in Glass Slippers by Benjamin Moore

Ya les he contado sobre nuestro comedor – una mesa vintage McGuire de los setenta, y sillas Chinoiserie también vintage de los setenta las cuales yo restauré. Las paredes están pintadas un azul muy clásico y pálido y le añadimos molduras para agregar algún tipo de interés arquitectónico a un cuarto muy sencillo. El tope de mármol falso que hice elevó el diseño del espacio a otro nivel. Pero aún faltaba arte.

Mi presupuesto actual no me permite hacer una compra de arte del tamaño y escala que el espacio necesita. Además es un lugar tan especial que no podía ponerle cualquier pieza de arte. Un espejo no iba a funcionar, pues no podemos rezar en frente de una imagen humana. Esto también eliminaba la opción de un retrato. Y por supuesto quería que la pieza fuera una obra judía. Una vez definí el tema y estilo, sólo había un problema…

¿¡Dónde iba a conseguir arte del Beit Hamikdash que reflejara mi estética y estuviera dentro de mi presupuesto!? ¡Pues, sólo si la hacía yo misma! Ahora, no juzguen muy duro. Esto tal vez no se considera arte, pero para mi sí se siente como arte y eso es lo importante. No será la obra perfecta (y ya saben mi sentir a cerca de eso), pero estoy más que feliz con ella.

Tenía esta imagen en la mente de este post de Little Green Notebook, desde hace mucho tiempo, así que decidí tratar un experimento similar con Photoshop con una foto de un modelo del Beit Hamikdash que encontré en Internet.

Me hubiera gustado crear una pieza grande y luego jugar con el color, pero ¿¡dónde iba yo a encontrar una foto grande del Beit Hamikdash!? Así, es que utilicé lo que tenía a mi alcance y decidí hacer multiples de la misma foto, en diferentes colores, creando una sóla pieza. Esto creo que evita cualquier problema de copyright (¡espero!).

Usando Photoshop, cree diferentes archivos de la misma foto, cada uno con diferentes niveles de tonos y saturación de color. Traté de ser inconsistente y variada y no muy estricta. No soy nada experta con Photoshop, y estoy segura de que alguien puede tornar esto en una pieza mas sofisticada, pero funcionó.

La intención fue reflejar nuestros lentes variados, a través de los cuales podemos visualizar y hacer de la redención una realidad mas concreta en nuestras vidas. Desafortunadamente, la mayoría de nosotras vivimos nuestras vidas como si el Beit Hamikdash y la era Mesianica, fueran realidades totalmente ajenas. Abstracciones del subconsciente, en el mejor de los casos.

Pero, creo que si abrimos los ojos y ajustamos nuestro lente – nuestra perspectiva del mundo que nos rodéa – podremos ver cuan real la Redención es. Acercando esta realidad hacia nuestra conciencia, permitiendo que sea de alguna forma parte de nuestra realidad actual, creo que poco a poco, la creamos en una realidad. Y es así como nació mi pieza… (¡les dije que era arte! jaja) :-)

Tal vez un día la tenga que llevar a otro nivel, pero por ahora, cumple la función de ayudarme a elevar mis rezos de Shabbat a otro nivel. :-)

Me encanta que mi obra claramente denota una antigua tradición judía (la creencia firme en la Redención) a la vez que es totalmente moderna. Pero, aún mas importante, me fascina que mi obra expresa mi persona y estética – una chica a quien le fascina el color y con una mayor pasión por su judaísmo.

    Being a guest on JLP was a true delight!  Easy, quick, hassle-free, and most of all…FUN!  Yael made the entire experience feel like a chat with a long-lost friend, and I finished with the interview feeling invigorated and excited to re-focus on my mission.  May Hashem give us MANY more women like Yael in this world to hasten our righteous Moshiach NOW!!

    I loved being in Jewish Latin Princess. Yael made me feel right at home. Her careful reading of the book and her interview style was terrific. I also enjoyed sharing a part of my life that I don’t usually get to share in interviews. Thank You Yael!

    I had a great time being on Jewish Latin Princess Podcast. Yael is a great interviewer and fun. The questions just flowed and they were the perfect balance of thought provoking and deep, while also keeping the conversation very real and practical.

    What an honor to be interviewed by Yael. In my eyes, Yael's show is a place to glorify Judaism and the Jewish way of life, and I am humbled to have been invited to share my passion. Yael made me feel so comfortable and confident. Her easy going upbeat energy was felt way across the globe as if I was sitting right there next to her. I enjoyed every moment of the interview and couldn't believe that an hour and a half went by so fast;-) I look forward to connecting again soon. Yael, keep up the good work!

  • Amy Kritzer

    Yael de JLP no es solo mi gran amiga sino que es una host maravillosa, con la voz más dulce y hace las preguntas más asertivas. Te hace sentir en casa estando tan lejos y en un micrófono. Yael es el perfecto ejemplo de mujer mamá judia trabajadora que lo puede todo! Y todo lo que hace lo hace perfecto. No solo recomiendo escuchar sus podcast que son maravillosos sino seguir su blog y sus ocurrentes historias y los mejores tips.

    Yael is a delight! My interview with her for Jewish Latin Princess was like talking to an old friend. Her questions are thought-provoking, insightful and generous. Her warm approach allowed me to be myself, and I loved having the opportunity to share my story in such an engaging way.

  • Michelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear FacerMichelle Poler, Founder of Hello Fears, Speaker & Fear Facer

    I loved being part of your podcast, I had no idea what to expect and it was refreshing as a Jewish woman to participate in your podcast. Your questions related to what I do, combined with Judaism gave me a lot to think about. I love getting new questions instead of the typical “why did you start the project?” which is important but I’m glad you gave it a twist. I hope your listeners enjoy the interview as much as I enjoyed being part of it! Thanks for challenging me to think about my topic and religion as one.

You are a pleasure to join forces with!

    Yael is a gifted and intuitive writer. So impressed was our staff, that the Jewish Herald-Voice offered her a monthly column, "Defining Jewish Women." We have received only positive feedback and our readers look forward to the third Thursday of every month. In between, I personally follow her blog and gain much insight into myself through her words and emotions.

  • Gila SimchaGila Simcha

    What a treat to hear Yael speak at the Jewish Women's Retreat in San Antonio. Her presentation, "Mi Casa es Su Casa, The Kabbalah of the Home" inspired me to express my Judaism in a way that speaks to my creative side and love of all things chic without compromising my true self and style. I'm so glad I got the chance to hear her message of creativity and Torah. Bravo!

  • Sandy FrydbergSandy Frydberg

    I enjoyed your presentation very much. Your way of presenting material is your strongest asset. You are organized, friendly and approachable, and you speak beautifully, including when you incorporated Jewish teachings in Hebrew. I would be happy to learn from you as you make it fun and interesting.

  • Tina GrossTina Gross

    Thank you so much for a wonderful presentation....You are a great speaker and all the ladies loved hearing your stories....

  • Shoshana BonnShoshana Bonn

    I am writing to share how much I enjoyed your presentation on the kabbalah of home at the 55th N'shei Chabad convention in San Antonio, Texas. Your vivacious speaking style, the clarity with which you made your points, and your warmth toward your audience made this one of the best breakout sessions I attended. You offered both depth of Jewish knowledge and perspective on how this applied to people's individual situations. I look forward to my next opportunity to hear you speak.

  • Clara GrossClara Gross

    Yael y JLP son muy especiales para mi. Fue gracias a JLP que me di la oportunidad de intentar nuevamente preparar Challah para mi familia - desde que JLP publico la Challah que nunca falla en nuestra mesa hay hermosas y deliciosas Challah todos los Shabbat y en las festividades. Soy una foodie así que no me pierdo las recetas que publica y hasta ahora han sido un éxito total, sin contar que me inspira la bellísima presentación de los platos y como presentar una hermosa,  sencilla y a la vez elegante mesa para nuestra familia e invitados.

    In preparation for my wedding, I had the opportunity to learn with Yael. Creativity aside, she is a wealth of knowledge, both passionate and practical, about what she teaches and how she teaches it. I'm also proud to say that through our experience together she has become a great friend and is someone that I can I always talk to.

  • Melinda SilberMelinda Silber
    Yael can be defined as “refreshing inspiration.” She is well-versed in an array of topics from Jewish femininity to design details. Every time I hear her at a speaking engagement or in passing conversation, she always brings an awareness of Jewish femininity to the forefront, constantly reminding women of their spiritual role and importance in ‘everyday’ things. I was thrilled that she passed this concept on, along with her deep knowledge of Judaism, to my daughter during their Bat Mitzvah lessons together. Yael always rises to the occasion (no pun intended) with her eye for design and attention to details. Her subtle palette, creativity and organizational skills are her recipe to success!
  • Vanesa KreindelVanesa Kreindel

    Estoy inmensamente feliz de haber conocido a Yael. En ella no solo encontré una persona con inmenso talento, sino que también encontré una gran amiga que abre su corazón y te contagia su alegría, creatividad y armonía. Me fascina leer su blog - en el siempre encuentro algún nuevo “tip” y también disfruto muchísimo de las clases de mujeres que nos da mensualmente.

  • Anat ChenAnat Chen

    My daughter Stav had her Bat Mitzvah a few months ago.  I wanted Stav to go into her 'Bat Mitzvah' understanding the meaning of the term, and with the knowledge of how to apply it to her life. Even though she learns in a Jewish Orthodox school, I felt that she needed extra learning and inspiration for her coming of age.  Luckily, I knew Yael from before, and heard that she teaches Bat Mitzvah classes.  I had a feeling that this would be a good match... I wasn't wrong :)

    Yael teaches ancient ideas in a modern way.  Stav came back from classes inspired, thinking and asking herself questions.  I'm thankful that my daughter had the opportunity to learn with Yael for her Bat Mitzvah in a interesting, welcoming and inspiring way.

  • Kayla WarrenKayla Warren

    Yael has creativity, vision, and energy, and she uses them all to the fullest for her clients. She came up with the color scheme, all the accessories, the overall “look” of the day, and I just happily and gratefully followed along. But I don’t want you to think it’s only what Yael wants, Yael does. She asked me for input every step of the way. She always checked in with me about what she was buying, what she thought we should have at the party, and she was always conscious of budget. I wanted everything she suggested, but I know that if there had been anything I wasn’t keen to have, she would have changed it until she found something that I loved. She wanted my daughter and me to be happy with everything. We weren’t happy – that’s too meager a word – we were elated!!! Working with Yael was such a pleasant and joyful experience. And those are two words I don’t use lightly when it comes to describing planning an event.

  • Elisheva GolaniElisheva Golani

    Yael helped me style my son's upshernish as well as my living room. She is wonderful to work with! She is talented and extremely organized which is super helpful! She has an incredible eye and knows how to beautify absolutely anything!
