SPLITTING THE SEA by Penina Schleider
Splitting the Sea captures the awe-filled moment when the impossible happened—when the waters stood tall, and a nation walked through the depths on dry land. It is a painting of open miracles, but also of quiet faith. Of standing still… and moving forward.
As I painted, I was struck by the sense of trust that fills this moment—the willingness to step forward into the unknown, simply because Hashem said to go. That kind of faith lives in us still, each time we choose to follow His voice. I also felt that the strokes of wind that one can see and feel flowing through the painting represent the ammud ha’anan and amud ha’aish.
The composition is filled with motion, yet there is a sense of calm. The sea rises on either side, towering yet graceful, as if held not by force, but by purpose. From above, a soft glow pours down—light from heaven illuminating the path ahead. It’s not just light to see by, but light that feels like protection, like a guiding presence.
Splitting the Sea is a painting of courage. Of light in the unknown. Of the moment we all became witnesses to Hashem’s hand—and began the journey of becoming His people.
This painting can be printed in any size and on a variety of materials — from luxurious art canvas to sleek Chromaluxe metal, elegant glass panels, or other unique surfaces.
