Etymologically, the word “apocalypse” is a transcription of the Greek term \u1f00\u03c0\u03bf\u03ba\u03ac\u03bb\u03c5\u03c8\u03b9\u03c2 \/ apok\u00e1lupsis, meaning “unveiling” or, in religious terms, “revelation.” But over the centuries, it has moved far from its original meaning, now connoting a massive and violent catastrophe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I readily imagine the apocalypse as a living being that suddenly\nappears, born from the nourishing earth and fights to make its way\nbetween the water, the sky, the nature. So many reassuring and\nfrightening elements. But it shouldn\u2019t be. Everyone has its own\nplace. This being full of life, inhabited by fire as its color\nindicates, will not let itself be walked all over. To hell with the\npower of its elders, it will not give in and will find its way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, he stands on tiptoe, pushing to the right, pushing to\nthe left, using his herculeanly strong arms. He doesn’t want to crush\nanyone. He just wants to exist, to be among the entire universe and\nall that it implies. The world of the visible and the invisible can\nquite simply coexist, perhaps in friendship, or not. There’s no need\nto go that far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It exudes such an aura, such energy, that something is bound to\nhappen. But what? It’s up to each of us to imagine it, to slip into\nthe colors and shapes. Why not turn the painting around and see\nsomething new, unusual, special, weird. Be bold, let’s dare to go\ndown this path. I did it, and…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw this: a knight in armor with his fist clenched, almost\nthreatening. He stares at a woman whose face is half hidden by a\nlarge hood. She closes her eyes, she seems serene. Perhaps she wants\nto appease the obvious wrath of the knight facing her. And between\nthese two figures, the face of a little girl, a mixture of colors\nbetween the two other figures. She brings balance, peace, renewal,\nhope, life, softness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire, the anger of the Apocalypse, will inevitably subside at\nthe sight of this revelation. This child is not here by chance. We\nall have a mission, and so do they! We just have to let ourselves be\nguided, let it happen, so that harmony suddenly emerges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Apocalypse knows this, understood it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
