Ariock .’s Honors:

"Create beyond the Flesh, Fate as the paintbrush of existence
Engraving its vows by steel, so the Soul beyond it's absence
Becomes the master and the sword, unique agent of it's transcendence
Untamed by Eternity, it became God thanks to it's insolence "

Ariock

"Madness is a sensuous trance, a reality guiding us to the hideous faces of the crawling messenger...to feel the fragility of the foetal flesh of reason, the Human will amputations...
New born by the Nightmares, Dancing, insane to the Cthonian Chaos flutes ... illuminated by the putrefied breath of the abominations standing behind us.....
The end is not near anymore....
The end is now... "

Ariock

"The greatest Honor I had yet in my career was painting a special Artwork homage to Michael Moorcock creation Elric, and seen my piece enjoyed and commented by the Master.
this can hardly be beaten by any award I could receive."
