Resurrection is the rebirth of everything that surrounds us and it is always necessary, every day is necessary.

The Medellin artist Saint MG works with religious themes and imagery using digital technology, calling himself the Lost Angel in the Digital Renaissance. In his work Judgment of Life, the artist provides an extensive and refined poetic description: “Time 11101101010110111110001. After the last day, night, and morning are part of nothingness and time rests on the eyelids of the past. Existence takes its inclination to begin with the end of eternity, to define a path, a path that in the mind is not traced but unconscious under the weight of each decision, the balance adds another fragment to its mechanism leaving nothing to chance. The end takes a last step together with the time and after 3 drops that return to their inkwell and the last day begins again.”


The work is deliberately saturated with religious symbols and attributes from different eras and cultures. A human skull, reminiscent of the transience of existence, eternal and unbreakable Egyptian pyramids, an open demonic codex, scales and hourglasses, numerous crosses, and a neatly placed violin on the side, hinting at the important role of fine arts and the artist in earthly life. The multi-figure composition is intentionally overloaded with details, but the artist's skillfully executed animation creates a seemingly stable balance, reminding us that our entire life is a fragile equilibrium.

For most of its history, art served ritual and the spiritual life of humanity. From cave paintings in Altamira to the Bactrian princesses, the Fayum portraits, medieval miniatures, Renaissance paintings, and beyond, all these cultural precedents were largely associated with the spiritual life of society.


In general terms, over time any community generates properties through autopoietic means that are adequate for society as a whole—establishing hierarchies, economic relationships, creating marginal strata, building pantheons of heroes, and seeking spiritual and religious foundations of varying degrees of depth and seriousness. The crypto community is no exception, especially the part of it that is directly involved in the production of images, namely, the artists.


However, it is important to consider that Web 3 is not only a cryptographic and economic project but also an ideological and visual project that succeeds internet culture with its rich visual, contextual, and associative language. It is evident that the crypto community is currently experiencing a tremendous surge of interest. Artists and creators are engaged in the search for spiritual foundations and the creation of synthetic images in which Christian, Buddhist, and Hindu symbols and heroes are sometimes integrated or communicated with characters that have sacred significance for the crypto world, whether it be Vitalik Buterin or Elon Musk (as the most obvious examples). The significance, quality, and meaning of these new experimental images are yet to be assessed, and this large narrative actively awaits its investigator.

Crypto Sacer

Three souls inhabit the being, good and evil exist, but there is something that accompanies them. It´s us, from the cruelest to the most beautiful, we teleport through both extremes and touch the lips of both muses tempting us to fall into the pendulum of good and evil, while time passes, as uncertain as a storm and as real as its own idea.
But destiny arrives like lightning and tells its secret, sharp as air and decisive as time, a new moment is born that connects with those three souls who, sailing over nothingness, were looking for what they never thought they would find.

The Secret

Older than existence, their kiss hides the story of time and the passing of history, everything happens between two souls to be what it is now and what it will be.

Alley 00110111. 
An unknown and strange place where your environment can change without you perceiving it, when you listen to its wings time takes another path and you´re no longer part of it, but you don´t perceive it, it´s like dying, there you can find it. Artworks and objects lost for centuries are exhibited in his street gallery, but there is something different, with time they have changed, like everything that must exist, they have been transformed into what they have gone through, without ceasing to be, it is impossible to cease to be.
Hidden stories and secrets clouded by the passing of life are kept in each of the works, discovered perhaps only when there is no humanity and those who contemplate it is because its plane no longer exists.
