Original oil painting on canvas, 140x85cm Judgment Day. It’s based on the biblical apocalypse. Painted in oil on canvas. Sending by mail in a roll.
\nFor many, biblical prophecies are just archaic obscurantism, but I reread them with pleasure and see them as hardcore space cyberpunk. For me personally, Apocalypse is one of the best science fiction stories of all time. Naturally, if you understand it in a certain way). If someone rewrote it in a modern manner, then the work would be simply epic. There are also modern weapons – fire from the sky, and an electronic financial system with implanted bank cards or qr codes – the mark of the beast on the hand or on the forehead, without which it is impossible not to buy or sell. There is also the control of people by television – a speaking image, that is, an icon, an animal (according to the text – a generalized world government), which has the power to order to kill. This is very similar to our time, and in fact, as a rule, good fiction tends to come true.<\/p>\n
There is also a description of the future of the Earth, very similar to what scientists predict, although for billions of years. Irreversible rise in temperature as a result of the evolution of the sun, which ends with emissions of matter blowing away the Earth’s atmosphere. The rivers dry up, the water becomes poisoned and everything in it dies, then there is a terrible earthquake with lightning, and at the end the old sky is replaced by a new one, and the sea is no more. This can be supplemented with a fragment of the apocryphal narration of Christ: \u201cfiery waterfalls will flow, darkness and gloom will come and clothe and envelop the whole world, and the waters will turn into burning coals, and everything on earth will burn, and the sea will become fire. And the stars will scatter from the fiery flame, as if they were not created, and the firmaments of heaven will pass away from lack of water and become as uncreated. And there will be lightning in the sky, and their sorcery will frighten the world.<\/p>\n
And against the background of this picture, the technocratic totalitarian regime is fighting against its opponents, and a city is descending from the sky … To top it all, aliens arrive and evacuate some people. Surely you have already seen all this in dozens of science fiction films and read in books, but I really like how this story is summarized in one single work. Inspired by him, I drew this picture.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
