The very last painting

In Christian tradition, the serpent is often associated with evil, the devil and sin. The serpent also appears in the Revelation of John as a great dragon that fights against God and his angels and threatens the world. This dragon is referred to as "the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan". At the end of time, the serpent is bound by an angel and thrown into the abyss, where it remains for a thousand years until it is released again to wage a final war against God, in which it is finally defeated and thrown into the lake of fire. The serpent thus symbolises the apocalyptic power of evil, which opposes God and his creation, but is ultimately defeated. The serpent is an animal that sheds its skin and is thus renewed. This can be interpreted as a sign of a new beginning, transformation and healing. The snake can also have a cyclical nature when it bites its tail and thus forms a circle. This motif is known as Ouroboros and symbolises eternity, unity and the return of life. Yes, there is a lot to think about with this unique, crazy and perhaps final painting.
