Babel

Illustrator/Calligrapher: Gil Martinez
Technique:
Watercolour, gold leaf, pen and ink over parchment.

This piece, now in a private collection, displays each of the genesis verses dealing with the myth of the tower of Babel in a different language. The piece takes cues from medieval architecture rendering in manuscripts, and calligraphic faces were selected to complement each individual language.
