Dear friends,
Mauricio Ayayu’s culmination of years of dedication and passion in creating oil paintings that bring the first book of the Torah, “Genesis” (known to the Jewish people as Bereshith), to life. These eight large murals, each measuring 1.2m x 2m, intricately unravel the profound narratives of the world’s creation, concealing within them the secrets of the Torah.
Adorning the walls of the Jewish Community Center’s symbolic Ballroom, these murals captivate observers with their breathtaking details, rich storytelling, and profound symbolic meanings. Now, expanding upon the existing collection, the JCC proudly presents the final five masterpieces of Mauricio’s Genesis series. Delving into chapters like ‘Garden of Eden,’ ‘Noah’s Ark,’ ‘The City and Tower of Babel,’ ‘The Covenant Of Abraham And TheThree Angels,’ and ‘Blind Isaac Giving Jacob His Blessing,’ each piece is a two-year labor of artistic mastery.
As Mauricio’s global recognition continues to soar, the JCC is filled with immense joy and pride. In this new chapter, we have uncovered delightful surprises specially added by Mauricio for NaTang and I. Previous visitors may anticipate these pleasant additions.
Hurry to the JCC, join us in marveling at Mauricio’s remarkable ‘Genesis’ series, and unveil the myriad hidden surprises within the paintings. Brace yourself for the awe-inspiring grandeur of the ‘Genesis’ series, destined to become an unforgettable experience.
We are confident that with time, these paintings will ascend to the ranks of the most significant contemporary Jewish art works globally. Enthusiasts from near and far will undoubtedly pilgrimage to witness the glory encapsulated within Mauricio’s ‘Genesis’ murals and only available for view at the Jeffrey D. Schwartz Jewish Community Center in Taiwan.
