This angel is inspired by the image of a sculpture that presides over a tomb in the Recoleta Cemetery in the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

In this composition, which represents an angel from the Apocalypse, the angel's feet sink into a sunset cloud and one of his hands extends towards the stars, enclosing some of them between his fingers, as if they were submitting to his will and it. will crown with their light.

His other hand holds a trumpet, a musical instrument that, in the course of Israel's history, was used as a symbol of public warning of impending action, and in the Christian tradition, identifies powerful angels who were designated by God, after the opening of the seventh seal, to warn humanity about the severe judgment that is about to fall upon it.

Through these angels, God dramatically communicates His complete and impressive authority, manifesting in a majestic way over the Earth and over a race of men who destroy their environment, despite the fact that He is always calling the men to repentance, throughout history, to avoid it.

(Rev. 8: 6) "And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them"
