The Paintings of Martin Berkovitz - Mother of the World is the universal personification of the feminine divine.
Previous Works / Mother of the World
Mother of the World began with a powerful dream in nineteen seventy-nine. In it my wife and I were in a foreign city getting ready to leave our hotel. Suddenly, we found ourselves in a museum standing in front of a ruby red painting of the Mother of the World. Next to it was another painting in heavenly blues of the Mother surrounded by an adoring Nature. I was so moved I awoke in tears and immediately made accurate drawings of what I had seen. These became paintings and were the foundation pieces of what would become my largest and longest-running series of pictures.
The Mother is the universal personification of the Great Feminine Divine. She is love, creativity, nature, nurture, and mystery, all that leads to realizing our higher spirituality.
