Description of the canvas

At the origin of Creation,

Melkor was the first God

To descend on Earth,

Cradle of the material world.

 

His power was of such magnitude

That the other Gods joined together

In order to overthrow the reign of Melkor.

With them, there were also Goddesses.

 

We know that J.R.R. Tolkien described Melkor

Like a rebellious and mischievous deity.

So, he was the dark enemy of the Creation.

But what was it really about him?

 

Here, this painting immortalizes the portrait of Melkor

Through a set of primary colors (blue, red, yellow)

And complementary colors (orange, green, purple).

The whole contrasts with a play of tones (black, gray, white).

 

Here, Melkor is pictured with his famous iron crown

Set with the three elven gems, which are the three Silmarils.

These are gems giving access to the chromatic circle:

Thus, they make it possible to paint or depict the Creation.

 

The Citadel of Melkor was destroyed during the Great Explosion.

Now, his Citadel is scattered across a region of space.

Yet it is said that the spirit of Melkor still exists today.

It is also said that his supremacy comes from a truth that he holds ...
