Wings, 297×420 , pencil drawing, 2024 In the center of the drawing, there lies a fallen angel. The classical biblical narrative implies the presence of an enraged God looking down from above. However, from above, we observe a zombie crow and a military plane—a collective embodiment of aggression. At first glance, it seems that the angel was shot down, but upon closer inspection, we notice that the angel’s wings remain intact, and there is no defeat in their gaze. The angel’s eyes are fixed on the sky, where the battle continues. It appears as though they are merely waiting for the right moment to engage and deliver a decisive blow. Perhaps this angel isn’t fallen at all. Look closely at their face beneath the layer of black soot and bloody wounds—they appear to be a child. A child-angel, symbolizing faith and hope for the future. Fearless yet slightly naive, they gaze calmly. Pay attention to another crucial detail in the painting: the hourglass. It has only just begun to measure time, and the messenger seems to await their moment. Ready to shield the earth with their massive wings. Wings larger than those of a plane or a crow. Do you know how quickly children grow? Do you know how swiftly children of war mature?" #art #angel #fantasy #symbolism #war #hope #wings #hourglass #FallenAngelArt #WarDrawing #PencilSketchBattle #AngelOfDespair #ConflictIllustration #MilitaryJetArtwork #HourglassSymbolism #BarbedWireSketch #RuinsAndWings #DarkFantasyDrawing #SorrowfulSeraphim #ArtisticWarzone #DesolateAngel #FighterJetInFlight #UrbanDecayArt #WingedWarriorFallen #TimeRunningOutArt #BattleScarsSketch #ApocalypticArtistry #EtherealStruggleIllustration https://bobruisk.guru/wings-2024/
