2016 – 2017 / Oil on linen / 140 x 200 x 2,5 cm

The work is a symbolic modern interpretation inspired by a passage of the Revelation in the Bible. 

Revelation 15.5 After these things I looked, and behold, the temple of the tabernacle of the testimony in heaven was opened. 6 And out of the temple came the seven angels having the seven plagues, clothed in pure bright linen, and having their chests girded with golden bands. 7 Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever. 8 The temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from His power, and no one was able to enter the temple till the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed.

Revelation 16 Second Bowl: The Sea Turns to Blood 

3 Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living creature in the sea died. (New King James Version)
