Acrylic, charcoal, gesso, and crushed marble, or wood fibers, on 140lb. Arches Aquarelle paper, with deckled edges. 26 x 40” (66 x 100cm), all of these works on paper were done between 2003 and 2009.

Several articles have been written by renowned art critics on this artist. Please inquire.

This is a wonderful example of Enmanuel's increasing command of the paper medium. His texture, composition, symbology, and technical mastery continue to improve. This is his more recent work, and though his imagery leans toward the abstract, he has hinted that these paintings are representative of feminine, divine beings of a benevolent, and supportive nature. There is great power in these paintings, and the imagery seems to be blended with the abstract, tropical landscape quality he has become known for. Though there are hints of where Enmanuel's points of inspiration come from, the iconography he has developed is entirely his own. You may consult his bio for more details. There are several more paintings from this series available. Please inquire.

 

Enmanuel's work was prominently featured in the 4th season of the Fox Television's show "Prison Break". It was used to decorate the loft space in the show, and his work can be seen in a number of episodes. 

 

The origins of his iconography are in the early work of Wifredo Lam. One can see elements that are a reminder of this great artist's work. Though Enmanuel has used these elements as a point of inspiration, he has succeeded in making the work entirely his own. He has focused on Lam's early jungle work as a jumping off point, to create a body of symbols, and a language that depicts a reverence for Mother Nature, and his work has a power and intensity that is rarely found in contemporary art. We at MLA search for contemporary artists that have both conceptual genius, and technical mastery. A combination of qualities rarely found today, but present in abundance in the work of this brilliant artist. Enmanuel was selected to create two huge murals in Cuba. One is a 40 ft. mural at the Railway Station in Santiago, and the other is a 30 ft. mural in the lobby of the Melia Cohiba, which is the top hotel in Eastern Cuba. These are both extremely prestigious projects, and have placed this great artist in an important historical context. 

We have been in business for 20 years, and enjoy a very good feedback rating. We believe in, and offer outstanding customer service. We offer a life-time trade in policy. Please inquire. We enjoy a very good feedback rating. Check out MLA Gallery, Los Angeles on Google or on Facebook, at https://www.facebook.com/mlagallery/

Want to grow in your knowledge of the Bible? Then buy this book.
Format: Hardcover
If you wouldn’t dig into God’s word and go deep and learn more and more about the Bible, then this is your buy. It is so in depth that my goal of reading through the Bible in six months had to be pushed back because the information was so amazing and so in depth that I didn’t have time to read all each day and stay on my timeline

A Great Resource for Pastors
Format: Hardcover
While I have appreciated resources like this in the past, I will admit that I was not expecting to be as impressed as I was. This volume is significant in size (over 1300 pages of content) and the depth of scholarship in the passages I consulted thus far has been surprising and refreshing for an expositor’s type of commentary. While this is not a technical commentary by design, the authors are clearly in command of their field and bring the impact of their technical knowledge to bear on the way that they discuss the topics at hand. For instance, Jay Sklar, whose work I have deeply appreciated in his more technical work - including other commentaries on Leviticus - is the author of the Exodus section. His discussion of the ransom idea introduced in Exodus 21 is clearly influenced by the deep theological and textual work he has done elsewhere, yet the prose is imminently accessible and readable to the lay reader. So too does Christine Palmer present the Leviticus chapter. The treatment of Leviticus 16-17 is masterful and quite clear - with the sole exception that the distinction and connection between atonement as forgiveness and as cleansing could be more pronounced rather than assumed. Finally, the biblical-theological sensitivity of Iain Duguid’s Genesis chapter stands out with his treatment of Genesis 2:15 and the nuance of the Hebrew words ‘abad and shamar which have priestly connotations of worshipful obedience is very important and well done. Without being overly technical Duguid presents the reader with this important nuance to the human purpose in the garden and beyond. I am very pleased with this commentary’s content and look forward to other volumes as well. I highly recommend this as a helpful expositor’s commentary for pastors and for those interested lay readers who want to get another layer deeper in their Bible reading and development of biblical-theological sensitivities.

The first shall be last, literally, here
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
It's funny that this is the last book to complete the set, but it's also the first volume. This Pentateuch set offers a great commentary set for those looking for something more than a study Bible, but something less than a full, highly technical, original language, word-by-word study. This review will be a higher-level one rather than a review per volume. Each book of the Bible has its own author, but the layout is the same, with an overview of the book, a section outline, then a section with commentary. The typeface of this is perfect. It's big enough to be easily read and spaced out to not get lost per line. The footnotes are exactly where they need to be, at the bottom of the page but not so overencumbered that you get lost in the footnotes rather than in the main text. The books from page 1 to the last page sit open perfectly without ruining the binding or spine. There's no need to grab two other commentaries just to read and take notes from. That's impressive for these volumes in and of themselves! The division for each combination of books makes sense and also helps if you're studying genre (like 1 & 2 Timothy with Titus, or the Pentateuch). Editors Iain M. Duguid, James M. Hamilton Jr., and Jay Sklar sometimes take over a commentary section but they've picked from some good authors. Their purpose of what they're looking for in the authors are stated in each book. Being broadly Reformed and conservative while being globally minded and not overly exhaustive again points to the well-ordered nature of this set. The Hebrew is transliterated, which again points to this set being inclusive to a wider audience to approach it while still being helpful and a great source of teaching. For the price point, I think purchasing this is useful, especially as a family used commentary set from teens on up.

Review of Crossway’s ESV Expository Commentary: Genesis–Numbers The Final Volume in a Landmark 12-Book Set Crossway’s release of the ESV Expository Commentary: Genesis–Numbers marks the long-awaited completion of their 12-volume expository commentary set ,a project that has served pastors, teachers, and lay readers with a rare blend of theological depth and pastoral warmth. This final installment offers rich insight into the foundational books of Scripture, bringing the story of God's redemptive plan into sharp focus right from the beginning. Theological Clarity Meets Pastoral Sensitivity Covering Genesis through Numbers, this volume tackles some of the Bible's most theologically significant and narratively complex material including creation, covenant, the patriarchs, the Exodus, and the wilderness wanderings. The contributors succeed in making ancient texts accessible, relevant, and worshipful without sacrificing exegetical rigor. Each passage is explained in context, showing how the Law and the beginnings of Israel's story point forward to Christ. Format and Usefulness True to the style of the series, this commentary is structured passage-by-passage, making it perfect for sermon preparation, Bible teaching, or devotional study. The tone is neither academic nor overly simplified—it’s pastoral, clear, and rooted in the authority of Scripture. The layout also includes helpful section summaries, theological insights, and practical application points. As always, all Scripture quotations are from the ESV, helping readers stay immersed in one translation. Series Finale Done Right As the first volume in biblical order but the last in publication, Genesis–Numbers fittingly brings the entire ESV Expository Commentary project full circle. It is a fitting capstone to a series that has been praised for its faithful interpretation, readability, and usefulness across denominations. Whether you're just beginning to explore the Bible or you're a seasoned preacher, this commentary and the series as a whole offers a trustworthy companion for growing deeper in God’s Word. Crossway has given the church a gift that will serve this generation and the next.

Nicely made and easy to read
Format: Hardcover
This arrived well packaged, but despite this, the two top corners of the book were somewhat smashed and there was more significant damage at the bottom of the spine where it was smashed. There is also some damage on the spine itself at about the level where Crossway is printed. The book appears well made and the paper is a good quality and thick. The print is of a nice size. One will most likely never access all the information enclosed in this commentary. In addition, one will most likely not agree with everything written, which should be expected of all commentaries. Commentaries are simply that and not authoritative. One hopes that by reading they might learn something new or be prompted to look more closely at a subject or issue. Let's look at Leviticus 11, for example, where the dietary guidelines are given to the Israelites. In the comments regarding pigs being forbidden, it is noted that the Philistines raised pigs for food. Knowing that, one can come to a conclusion that this may be why they were forbidden, so as to make a difference, or distinction, between the two peoples and not necessarily that pigs were bad to eat. In addition, throughout the commentary the reader is taken not just to other Old Testament passages, but where applicable the New Testament is referenced. Again using Leviticus 11, at the end of the chapter the commentary brings up the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 when they issued the four requirements for Gentiles. It is noted that, "The Jerusalem Council agreed on four nonnegotiables to bring Jewish and Gentile believers to the same table, drawn in large measure from Leviticus's laws on holy living for the resident alien."
