ARLINGTON, Texas, May 6 /Christian Newswire/ -- Christian entrepreneur, David Magiera, an artist, author, songwriter and the president and founder of Fireskewers LLC, Dove Cast Stone and The Backadjuster Company, announces the release of his latest Scripture-symbolic sculpture. One Flesh symbolizes the Scripture given in Genesis 2:22-25 "...and they shall become one flesh." Created in stylized realism, this open edition work of art is produced in a deep-luster, granite-like material called marbleized silica.
The profound and fluid 15 ½" tall image of Adam and Eve, with her modest leaf-covered body, is the perfect wedding, birthday and anytime anniversary gift. One Flesh represents the ultimate marriage promise between and man and a woman and serves as a symbol of God's potential for every marriage relationship.
The companion brochure reads as follows: ONE FLESH symbolizes God's perfect union between a man and a woman: the union in marriage. A union in spirit, mind and body. The fruits of that union are: love, peace, hope, harmony, unity, equality and a common goal. In a word, it symbolizes "oneness." And like every marriage, it is a work in progress. In an artistic sense, the oneness can be discerned in the strong, symphonic lines which define the male torso into a singular, harmonious image.
Their eyes, subtly suggested within the soft shadows, are quietly fixed upon a common yet distant point; a symbolic gesture conveying a union with a common vision and a united spirit. The woman's body presents a comely, curved image highlighted with a long graceful neck and flowing breasts. Her strong, curving hips and her poised head – looking into the future – compliment the man from every perspective.
Strong, without being offensive, the man's body presents smooth muscular arms, masculine shoulders and a strong back. His enlarged, powerful hands are delicately placed to hold and protect the woman. It all works to convey his gentle, caring strength.
They are equal in their relationship. And though the woman is positioned first, the man's head is shown leading – a visual signature of the man's headship balanced with their equality. As you study the two figures and contemplate the serenity of the two figures, you will begin to feel the oneness it portrays. In the final analysis, we all share the inner need to be united to – and complete by – our physical counterpart.
Signed and numbered open editions are available from The Prophecy Gallery. The 15 ½" pedestal edition is priced at $359 plus $29 s&h. The 7" maquette edition is $89 plus $10 s&h.
