"Our Lady of the Apocalypse" by Nicolas Otero is a traditional retablo, featuring intricate hand-painted imagery on wood.
At the center, a woman draped in flowing blue robes, holds a child as radiant golden light surrounds her. Angels and symbolic elements, such as the crescent moon, serpents, and celestial details, convey themes of divine protection and triumph over evil. The hinged panels showcase delicate floral motifs, vibrant patterns, and a rich color palette of golds, reds, and blues.
Otero's work highlights both reverence for sacred art and masterful craftsmanship rooted in New Mexican devotional traditions.
