If you’ve ever studied religion or read the Bible, you’ll get the intent behind ‘The New Revelations’ by Giancarlo Cruz. I haven’t done either, so I had to do a quick little cram session, but these two scenes depict slightly [Surrealist versions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/salvador-dali-x-casetify) of miracles in the Book of Revelation.

There’s a psychobilly/punk twist to ‘The New Revelations’ by Giancarlo Cruz, as its characters are tattooed, clad in latex and have dyed hair. Perhaps this [digital art series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brent-estabrook-debuts-storytime) is meant to bring a [new artistic relevance to religion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luce). Either way, it’s beautiful.
