Jacob Wrestles with Angel

Inspired by Eugene Delacroix’s Jacob Wrestling with the Angel, this abstract reinterpretation transforms the classical scene into a dynamic expression of struggle and transcendence. The faceless figures highlight the universality of the encounter—Jacob’s relentless grip and the angel’s poised resistance embody a timeless spiritual conflict.
 
Jacob is depicted as a dark-skinned figure, recontextualizing the biblical narrative through a cultural lens. The textured brushwork creates a sense of movement, blurring the line between earthly and divine. The angel’s ethereal whites contrast with Jacob’s deep tones, reinforcing the tension between mortality and the celestial.
