FAQs

The Signs of Time collection blends surrealism with Jewish heritage. Painting titles reveal themes such as light (“And There Was Light”), human responsibility (“Those Who Hold the World”), love (“Nest of Love,” “Flame of Love”), hope and rebirth (“Nests of Hope – The Return of the Jews to Israel,” “Return to Zion,” “Meditation of Time,” “Eternal Rebirth”), and the cyclical nature of life (“Life begins with an egg,” “While I breathe, I hope”). Through imaginative metaphors, Levin examines time, faith and the Jewish experience.

These surrealist works are painted by Alex Levin, whose biography notes that his art spans surrealism and realism and that he studied for over ten years under Professor Baruch Elron.

Each work is a unique original oil painting. Limited‑edition prints can be purchased through the individual product pages.

Levin uses professional‑grade oil paints on linen or canvas. He employs a multi‑layering technique influenced by 16th‑century masters and finishes each work with archival varnish.

The series stands out for its surreal symbolism and its fusion of contemporary art with Jewish heritage. By using metaphors like eggs, shofars, nests and jellyfish to explore light, time, birth and hope, Alex Levin creates a poetic dialogue between modern surrealism and centuries‑old Jewish themes.
