"Babylon Has Fallen" is a striking blend of ancient prophecy and futuristic vision, interpreting the biblical passage. “Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come” (Revelation 18:10). This triptych, measuring a total of 80 cm x 150 cm (31" x 59") (3 panels of 31"x19") with a thickness of 38 mm (1.5"), reimagines the fall of Babylon as both a historic and futuristic event, echoing the timelessness of its message. The piece fuses ancient imagery with a dystopian, futuristic landscape, suggesting that Babylon’s fall is not confined to history, but a symbol for the collapse of modern-day civilizations consumed by greed, power, and moral decay. Metallic tones and geometric structures in the background hint at towering, futuristic cities, while flashes of digital-like patterns represent the fragility of technological empires. Chaotic brushstrokes symbolize the suddenness of the city’s destruction, with fiery, electric hues capturing the moment of collapse in a world teetering on the edge of ruin. Through its futuristic elements, "Babylon Has Fallen" becomes a warning for future generations, reflecting on the inevitable downfall of any society that, like Babylon, is built on unsustainable ambition. This painting challenges us to consider the trajectory of our own world, urging reflection on the balance between progress, power, and humility. DISCLAIMER: This painting was created using high-quality paint on a less premium canvas, as part of a study series focused on experimenting with new techniques and themes. While the work itself reflects the same level of craftsmanship and depth found in our other pieces, the canvas was chosen specifically for study purposes. Because of this, we are offering the painting at a 50% discount. The normal price would be around $2500 excl. shipping. This provides a unique opportunity to own a powerful and distinctive piece that holds visual and conceptual value, at a reduced price.

This early bond turned into a lifelong partnership where the father’s seasoned experience meets the son’s modern vision. Their work merges classical techniques with bold, experimental styles, exploring themes like faith, heritage, and human connection. Each piece is a vibrant dialogue between traditional and modern elements, reflecting their unique relationship. The result is art that’s not just visually striking but also rich in narrative and innovation, offering a fresh perspective in the contemporary art scene.
