On the back of the canvas, the author's indication

The modern logical transformation of man's relationship with God. Questions and exclamations left unanswered. Jacob struggling with an angel for the artist is nothing more than a metaphor for the thirst for knowledge, the search for answers to his questions. A conversation with God, like life itself, is presented to the artist as a struggle and an argument.
If He created us "in His own image and likeness," then why does He judge us? Why does he not elevate a person to the rank of his equals? A God-like man or a human-like god?
