Dans la Kabbale, à partir du XIIIe siècle, de nouveaux détails tirés de la littérature kabbalistique viennent enrichir le mythe de Lilith. Reprenant le récit biblique de la création, Lilith aurait été façonnée avec de la terre en même temps qu'Adam, mais avec de la terre impure, ce qui explique son caractère démoniaque.
Pour la punir, Dieu la condamne à voir tous ses enfants mourir à la naissance. Désespérée, elle décide de se suicider. Les anges lui donnent le pouvoir de tuer les enfants des Hommes (jusqu’à la circoncision, au huitième jour pour les garçons, et jusqu’au vingtième jour pour les filles). Elle rencontre ensuite le démon Samaël, l’épouse et s’installe avec lui dans la vallée de Jehanum, où il prend le nom d’Adam-Bélial.
Pour se venger, Lilith devient le serpent qui provoque la Chute d’Ève, et incite Caïn à tuer Abel. Comme ses enfants s’entretuent, Adam refuse d'avoir des relations sexuelles avec Ève, ce qui permet à Lilith d’enfanter des nuées de démons (avec le sperme d’Adam qui tombe à terre) pendant cent trente ans.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Oil

Paint consisting of pigments bound with linseed oil or carnations. The traditional technique consists of superimposing layers of paint increasingly rich in oil for a solid and durable hanger.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Technic Painting

Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.
