After the End, They Came - Original artwork by Fabio Marinho

Acrylic on canvas - 24"x 20"
After the End, They Came explores the emergence of a collective consciousness encountering something entirely new and unknown after great upheavals. The work evokes an intersubjective awakening, where humanity confronts forces beyond its previous understanding, forces that may be felt symbolically, subtly, or even imagined as extraterrestrial guides leading us beyond the old order. Through layered textures, abstract forms, and subtle hints of the unfamiliar, the painting invites the viewer to sense the tension between what has ended and what is beginning, reflecting the fragile yet profound moment when the collective is ready to embrace transformation.
