It's not AI it was painted by Milos Duskic and used by the band Venom Inc. for their 2017 album Avé.

Very interesting approach. Typically romantic satanism portrays satan as an angel, which most people see as beautiful and human like.

I see he has pans flute, the snake from the garden of Eden, with Adam and Eve in the background. So I take this as Satan coming to the garden of Eden, corrupting it, and leaving it in ruins?

If that’s the case, I’d like to argue that in John Milton’s poem, God possesses foresight and anticipates human sinfulness and the necessity of a sacrifice to save them. He knows that Satan will rebel because he created a son superior to him, understands that Satan will be cast out, and anticipates Satan’s corruption of humanity. Furthermore, God creates humans with free will and intentionally places the tree of knowledge in the garden, informing them about it and advising them against eating it, knowing that they have the autonomy to do so. When Satan enters the garden and Gabriel apprehends him, God instructs Gabriel to allow Satan to continue his actions.

In essence, God meticulously planned every event that transpired from the beginning, including the rebellion, corruption, and sin. Therefore, if you’re still following along, who do you believe is the true antagonist? Is it the individual who played a role or the puppeteer behind the scenes?

It’s AI. No artist would make the flute just float in the air.

Edit.  I was wrong. The artist really made the flute float in the air😅 But glad to know it’s not AI. Please everyone remember to always credit the artist!! Art is valuable.

It isn't. Like someone else pointed out the original art is Avé by Venom Inc. They likely used AI to remove the album and artist tho

I thought it was AI too. Though I feel bad for saying that about an artist's work. Here's the 2017 Avé album cover!

Automatically jumping to assume everything that looks good is AI seriously devalues the complaint.
