In this atmospheric work, ArNoUx presents a central angel who looks upward in awe and confusion, asking a single haunting question: “Who are those two great angels?”
The piece captures the moment of spiritual revelation—when a celestial being becomes aware of a higher presence.

The background is a storm of blue strokes, symbolizing the immensity of the heavens. The two large figures on the right emerge as monumental silhouettes, unfinished on purpose, representing mysteries of the divine realm that even angels cannot fully comprehend. The expressive, raw texture emphasizes the emotional tension between innocence, curiosity, and sacred fear.

The main angel’s fragmented face, created with abrupt strokes of black, beige, and soft flesh tones, reflects vulnerability and wonder. This is not a scene of certainty—it is a moment of encounter with beings of greater authority, guardians of hidden realms.

Through this work, ArNoUx explores the hierarchy within the spiritual universe, where even celestial beings question the unknown and search for meaning in the presence of greater light.
