A body of work rooted in memory, identity, and spiritual presence. In this collection, Jewish symbolism is not simply depicted — it is re-experienced through form, light, and material. Michael Bronspigel uses layered tape to honor tradition while reshaping it into a contemporary visual language, giving ancient meaning modern breath.
These works hold reverence and strength. They whisper prayer, recall ancestry, and carry forward the enduring light of Jewish history. At their core lies the belief that heritage is not static — it lives, it evolves, and it continues through each generation.
To stand before these pieces is to feel both rooted and uplifted — grounded in thousands of years of story, yet invited into a fresh and intimate interpretation of faith and belonging.
This collection transforms sacred symbols, Hebrew letters, ritual forms, and spiritual themes into tactile, luminous compositions. Each piece is built slowly, layer by layer, like a psalm recited with intention or a tradition passed gently from one hand to another.
This series is a devotion to heritage, history, and the eternal survival of spirit. Bronspigel does not recreate religious imagery — he distills the emotional truth behind it. The intention is not to tell a fixed story, but to hold space for many: a text studied, a prayer whispered, a memory inherited, a tradition carried.
Every piece speaks to themes central to Jewish life — perseverance, continuity, remembrance, and the light that endures even through exile and challenge. Hebrew letters become sacred gestures, symbols of language and creation. Shapes recall ritual objects, ancient architecture, and moments from collective memory — but always with humility and open interpretation.
Nothing here is decorative; everything has soul. These works do not ask to be looked at — they ask to be felt.
Tape becomes a sacred instrument — structured like text, layered like centuries, humble yet profound. Edges echo scrolls and parchment; surfaces mimic stone that remembers touch. Micro-textures evoke the grain of hand-written tradition; subtle overlaps suggest breath between prayers, pauses between words.
Light is the true collaborator. As the sun moves across a room, symbols awaken — golds warm, whites glow, shadows give form to letters as though lit from within. By evening, tones soften and deepen, evoking havdalah candlelight and the hush of nighttime reflection. Up close, the work reveals precise craftsmanship and human hand; from afar, only meaning remains.
Nothing shouts here — everything glows, quietly and with conviction.

Insights and reactions from those who live with, exhibit, and collect Michael Bronspigel’s paintings.
"Michael’s floral tape paintings are unlike anything I’ve ever collected. The texture and movement shift beautifully with the light throughout the day—it feels as though the flowers are alive. His use of tape elevates the subject matter to pure emotion. It’s not just a painting; it’s a living presence in the room."
"Experiencing Michael’s interactive work in person completely redefined my understanding of art. As you move, the painting responds—you become part of it. We commissioned a horizon piece for our home, and guests are mesmerized by its subtle transformation throughout the day. It brings stillness and clarity to the entire space."
"The stars series captures the feeling of standing under a night sky—quiet, expansive, and deeply personal. What amazes me is how the artwork changes with distance. Up close, it’s precise and tactile. From across the room, it becomes atmosphere. It’s both meditative and powerful—truly timeless."
"Michael Bronspigel’s work speaks with restraint and intention. His nude paintings are elegant and deeply human—minimal yet full of presence. His U$ series, on the other hand, is bold and conceptually rich. It challenges you to reflect on value and culture while maintaining the sophistication of fine art. His range is extraordinary."
