the Medieval Apocalypse Art Studies Series
Inspired by illuminated manuscripts of the middle ages, this unfolding body of work seeks to capture the unsettling imagery of ancient Christian apocalyptic illustrations, fused with subtle references to contemporary times.
Deceiver of the Marked
Deceiver of the Marked (2020) is the first piece from the Medieval Apocalypse Art Studies Series and is inspired specifically by details from the Bamberg Apocalypse (11th century). It features an angel leading the False Prophet, bound together with the Great Serpent. Note the DNA-spiral forked tongues as the human conforms to the beast.

Harvest Of The Self Righteous (2021) is the second piece from the Medieval Apocalypse Art Studies Series and is inspired specifically by details from the Saint-Sever Beatus (11th century). It features the First Horseman of the Apocalypse setting out to conquer the minds of the masses. Note the would-be “saints” conforming with the horseman in self-aggrandizing lockstep.
Blood of the Saints
Blood of the Saints (2022) is inspired specifically by details from the Saint-Sever Beatus (11th century). It features the “Great Harlot” or “Mystery Babylon” riding the Great Beast, “drunk on the blood of the saints”. Note the wounded head of the Beast, the trampled victims and the burning city.
Trumpets of Wormwood
Trumpets of Wormwood (2023) is inspired specifically by details from the Saint-Sever Beatus (11th century). It features Angelic heralds of cosmic destruction. Note the approaching rogue star system in the heavens.
The Spectral Sword
The Spectral Sword (2024) is inspired specifically by details from the Saint-Sever Beatus (11th century). It features the Second Horseman of the Apocalypse, wielding the “Great Sword” against both small and great.
Patron of the Destitute
Patron of the Destitute (2025) is inspired specifically by details from the Saint-Sever Beatus (11th century). It features the Third Horseman of the Apocalypse, herald of economic stringency amid cosmic signs.
The Medieval Apocalypse Art Studies Series is both a tribute to historical craftsmanship and a contemporary artistic meditation — a fusion of tradition, imagination, and modern relevance that invites viewers to look deeper, reflect, and experience the timeless power of medieval apocalyptic imagery.
