About the Artwork

Inspired by the verse from Psalms, "He sends the springs into the streams; they go between the mountains" (Psalm 104:10), Binyamin Basteker's painting celebrates the beauty, power, and vitality of the natural world. Rather than presenting a literal landscape, the artist captures the spiritual essence of creation, transforming mountains, water, and sky into a vibrant expression of movement and life.

Two monumental mountain forms dominate the composition, separated by a luminous passage of water that flows between them. The scene evokes a sense of wonder and awe, recalling the psalmist's vision of nature as a living testament to Divine creativity. Through expressive layers of color and energetic brushwork, the mountains appear alive with movement, light, and hidden energy.

Working in his distinctive abstract expressionist style, Basteker combines rich greens, deep earth tones, and luminous blues to create a landscape that feels both physical and spiritual. The flowing water becomes a symbol of renewal, sustenance, and continuity, while the towering mountains suggest strength, permanence, and the enduring rhythms of creation.

Tiny figures at the base of the composition provide a sense of scale, reminding viewers of humanity's place within the grandeur of the natural world. Their presence invites contemplation of the relationship between people, nature, and the Divine, themes that resonate throughout the Book of Psalms.

Rich in color, movement, and symbolism, this work reflects Basteker's ability to transform a biblical verse into a deeply emotional visual experience. The painting invites viewers not only to observe the landscape, but to enter it—to experience the wonder, beauty, and spiritual vitality that flow through creation itself.

About the Artist — Binyamin Basteker

I am an abstract artist. Painting is my speech. In my unique language, using the tools and techniques that I have perfected, I observe and explore and create works whose source is rooted in Creation. The end result conveys to the world an emotional experience. The language of abstraction allows me to express without words – words are the expression of the finite. The richness of nature is infinite. Abstraction aspires to the infinite; the dwelling of perfection.
