This painting is about the parable of the Treasure hidden in a field, as described in Matthew 13:44. “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which someone found and hid; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.” The field represents the soul which the man just found out that is in the territory of hell, while the Kingdom of God (the treasure) is hidden deep in his heart.

-Angels at the corner of the Earth- This painting represents Revelation 7:1-3. ‘After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind could blow on earth or sea or against any tree. I saw another angel ascending from the rising of the sun, having the seal of the living God, and he called with a loud voice to the four angels who had been given power to damage earth and sea, saying, “Do not damage the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have marked the servants of our God with a seal on their foreheads”.’ Acrylics on a cardboard 23x31cm.
“Garabandal Faith on the Rock painting”
The symbolic meaning behind the Garabandal Faith on the Rock painting is that the Rock represents faith stability, as Jesus explains in the parable:
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock." Matthew 7:24-25.
The seers of Garabandal could not be lifted up while they were in ecstasy, because they were in the stability of Faith, like an anchor fixed on the seabed. Acrylics on a A4 paper. To know the full details of this painting please watch this video: https://youtu.be/vWOINpltuBw #Garabandal
